“”Print books remain the most popular format for reading, with 67% of Americans having read a print book in the past year””

Thank goodness I’m not considered one of the “behind the times” persons. I survived the “why don’t you have color TV”, “why don’t you have a push button phone”, “why don’t you have cable TV”, “why don’t you have a digital camera”, “why don’t you have a cell phone” and not nearly as bad, “why don’t you have a Kindle”...I want at least 6 books on my table to read in three weeks ready for the next trip to the library. May it never end!!

Yep I’ve been there too.

Nowadays, I hear, why don’t I have a wde screen TV, why don’t we have a service such as Netflix, why don’t I have satellite radio in the car, why do I still write checks to pay bills..........

I am very similar. I am always buying books so that I have a myriad of choices when I want to start a new one. But I never pay full price; I buy remaindered hardcovers for less than the price of paperbacks, scour Ebay for steals on favored or new authors and hunt for old bookstores when traveling.

I hope print never goes away!
