Not printed books.

I have multiple dedicated ebook readers, and I would never trade a real book for them.

I have a full wall to wall library in my house. Two walls floor too ceiling.

But, even though I have bought virtually all of these books and read a good percentage of them, I just don’t find myself buying books anymore. And I see lots of book stores closing their doors.

But I am sympathetic to your practice. If books weren’t so heavy I’d probably read them more. And yes, I do miss crawling up on the couch with the fire on and a good book in my hands.

But my iPad is light and has more books on it than I’ll ever read.

The printed book is vastly superior.

Take a permanent black marker or pen and write across the E-book screen. LOL.

An E-book cannot do what simple pens can do. And if you do not know, you never will.

Just turning the page is an adventure all in it’s self.

Of course I am what my kids call a PALEOCON and an ANACHRONISM.
