Years ago, years ago...Glenn Beck said to start to save books. History books, dictionaries, etc. His reason for collecting them was a bit different, but he was correct.

I have a large book collection (somewhere between 4-5000 volumes). I never adopted Kindle or other e-book formats. Seems to me that the true “owner” of the electronic book can alter the content anytime he wants. I imagine that in the future, electronic copies of, say, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” will contain no questionable terminology when referring to Jim the escaped slave. In contrast, the printed page is a safe bet — it says what it is meant to say.
