For me, the most important moment came reading a Sherlock Holmes story when I suddenly realised I'd been following the tale for several minutes having completely forgotten about the Iliad itself. This, of course, is essential: how many of us could get anything out of a book if we were constantly saying, in a small voice, "Hey, look at me - I'm reading this thing"?
My inability to read ebooks is a favourite conversation trivia with me. In fact I marketed the Sony eReader to a few of my friends (on mere theoretical knowledge) just to hear their opinion on ebooks (hoping they would be on my brigade). Yes, you and you there, I know you expected this post the moment you saw the article in the Guardian!
