- Hi, Jack. How are you?

- Fine, thanks. And you?

- I`m o`k. I heard you`ve got an e-book reader, haven`t you?

- Yes, I have. Why?

- Actually, I`m thinking of buying an e-book reader. I`ve got a couple of questions. Tell me, please, how long have you been using your reader?

- I bought it in August. So, I`ve been using it for 7 months.

- Do you think it was worth buying?

- Definitely. First of all, it`s really convenient and useful device. I started to read much more than I used to. I download a lot of books into it. Besides, it`s lightweight and compact. I can read whatever I want at any time.

- Sounds great. Are there any disadvantages?

- Personally, I can`t find any. The only thing is that you shouldn`t forget to charge it from time to time.

- Do you know, what`s the probable price of it?

- When I bought the reader, it cost 100 dollars. I don`t think, the prices have changes a lot since that time.

- Jack, thanks a lot for your help. I think it`s a good idea to buy that gadget.

- O`k. I`ve got to go. See you later.

- See you!
