I have found it more convenient to rent office space at a local managed office centre. This is inexpensive and I can use their other facilities at a reduced cost. Such as meeting rooms and secretarial services when needed.

Working from home can be useful but there is a danger of too many distractions.

Agreed, serviced office space can be extremely cost effective as they usually come as an all inclusive package including electricity/ heating, meeting rooms, kitchen space etc.

I think its partly the novelty factor that means I am reading more but also the kindle is so much lighter than carrying around a big paper back - I have some newspapers on there - for me personally its ideal - I wasn't a big reader before, I wouldn't have taken the time to go into waterstones and peruse the shelves etc and the kindle has reintroduced me to the pleasure of reading! (I'm not an amazon salesman - I just sound like one!)
From a business point of view - the readers seem to be a clever way of tying down buyers -

e.g kindle owners with amazon
Nook owners with Barnes and Noble etc.
I got a kindle a month ago and it has changed my life - I now read every day on the tube and am reading a far more varied selection than I would have ever considered before - Love my kindle!
