Book-lover Lisa Jardine muses on her latest conversion to the e-book and admits she's found herself reading Tony Blair's autobiography not in one of her beloved hardbacks but on her electronic reader. She ponders how we consume our books and wonders what effect the government's austerity measures will have on our public libraries. Will the coalition really pursue a suggestion that libraries could be moved to supermarkets or pubs? Producer: Adele Armstrong.
