It's a slip...Just doesn't seem right to me. It's a slippery slope. People start buying them, and then like newspapers, real books will be obsolete. They are cool gadgets, but i am going to hold out. <br />I appreciate the laziness factor, Val. That might be the best argument "for". LOL. <br />As for the rain forests...they're screwed. I work for the government where there is no paper reduction act. But I hear Laura is taking donations for Equador!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440588393432677083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549713266843452353.post-25302969968047677022010-12-08T13:09:57.016-08:002010-12-08T13:09:57.016-08:00The good thing about the Kindle is when you travel...The good thing about the Kindle is when you travel. It's hard to pack 10 books, and lug them around. Also, I thought about getting one when I commuted b/c it was lighter than the book I was reading (Anne Rice's "The Witching Hour"). I do not have one, but would consider one.<br /><br />Save the rain forest, Keri, and get a kindle.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686214747961896033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549713266843452353.post-5986311461693911442010-12-08T02:36:13.005-08:002010-12-08T02:36:13.005-08:00This is why I resisted buying a Kindle for so long...This is why I resisted buying a Kindle for so long. The hubby tried for a long time to use it as a birthday, anniversary, or Christmas gift and I would refuse. BUT, I caved. And while the Kindle will NEVER replace books because I love having them in my hands, smelling them, turning the pages, it is great for convenience when you're on the road. I'll end up buying the paperback books I read on Kindle to add to my bookshelf though. In the end, it'll cost me more money, but I love having a bookshelf full of books. There's nothing like it!T Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10447266957793499581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549713266843452353.post-77888295211696517312010-12-08T02:30:52.532-08:002010-12-08T02:30:52.532-08:00You are so right and there is something about the ...You are so right and there is something about the feel of a book, the smell of the pages and knowing you can hold it in your hand.
