I know, I know. I should buy a Kindle, Nook, or some such eBook reader. I know!
Like them in theory. A library on one device. No more piles of books in every room of my house.
After all, I successfully switched in music. LPs to cassettes to CDs to digital downloads and streams.
Yeah, I really like live music best.
And books. I like to curl up in a soft chair. I like to read in the tub and at the beach.
My nose is stuck to a computer screen all day at work. If a book is an escape, then I want to escape from screen to paper and ink. I want to go back in time. I want to feel the smooth paper, turn pages, and stick in a favorite bookmark.
So Nook? Nope. Kindle? I resist. As for you? Do as you like. For me? For now I'll continue to buy and share the archaic papyrus, I mean paper. Hey- did you know? You can read the Dead Sea Scrolls online!
