I've got a mountain of gardening books, including Dr H's. It's far more relaxing to sit and flick through a book than to search the internet. If you have a specific query the 'net is brilliant, but for general reference give me the book anytim.
I to love to graze though a good gardening book I do own some of Dr Hessayon books including lawn and greenhouse expert In fact as soon as I bough my greenhouse I went out and bought his greenhouse expert I shall be adding the Veg & herb expert to my own collection
He will be missed but like Nutcutlet I wouldn't be with out my books and a good coffee when I need to look up a flower or how to do this 'n' that
I prefer books too KT but was thinking of getting a kindle, only because I feel I'm falling behind with tecnology and a kindle is alot lighter to travel with, I wouldn't dream of taking a gardening book on my jollies but do take a couple of novels to read whilst relaxing.
A bit off topic but does anyone rate Kindles? Can you purchase Dr H's books for them?... and do you get the pictures on a kindle as you would in a book!.
I have a Kindle, its only OK for novels or bulky history books. Mine is only in black and white. I still buy physical books for gardening. I buy most of my books second hand, if it gets wet or dirty, no hard shakes, if you get a kindle wet, drop it or lose it that's a couple hundred quid up the spout.
I've got the Kindle Paperwhite which is fine for reading but useless with photos. I use it instead of taking 'proper' books on holiday etc, but wouldn't even want to use a tablet with colour screen as my main source. Give me the physical book any time.
Just checked out the Paperwhite and it would probably suit what I want to use it for.
Someone at work today though, suggested a kindle Fire HD.
Mark, I'm not going to get it wet or lose it say's she who had a mobile phone dropped in a cup of coffee by a child and lost an ipod (although it was only the size of a match box)

Dove, thank you; am still not getting notifications of anything, but I believe they are trying hard to fix this issue for everyone.

Clueless
His books were some of the first ones I owned. Always full of useful info.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I too love my gardening books, especialy now when we can't get in the garden.
i sit looking at the pictures of borders and flowers for ideas for new plantings next season
