I love the feel and smell of a book in my hand, I just thought it was ludicrous to get a device that is meant to replace that… technology is making idiots out of our kids anyway (for reasons you stated) and I lumped this in with.<br /><br />But lately, my shelves have no more space and I like to do a lot of breezy summer reading, things that I don't care to own but enable me to enjoyably pass time without switching on the TV. My friend has a Kindle and there are LOADS of free classics and contemporary work that would be perfect for this. I'm also sure my groaning bookshelves would thank me. So I'm considering selling my soul and getting one, but for now I'm still the only woman I know that regularly uses her library card with pride.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04848838006253870663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-28339864722313295962011-06-06T07:25:59.218+01:002011-06-06T07:25:59.218+01:00Well, this post was well said and so true! Of cour...Well, this post was well said and so true! Of course, these gadgets are great for portability. But I am a bookworm and my daughter is worst than I am. Neither of us can make it out of Barnes and Nobles without buying a book and most times it's books. I have TONS of them in every room. <br /><br />However, when my (truly over obsessed) daughter purchased her nook last week I was thanking the book gods. She plans to have a room in her home (when she has one of her own) designated as a library; but I have but a two bedroom home and space is limited. <br /><br />Like you DirtyCowGirl, the books I read to her when she was little I will be reading to my grandchildren one day. So, I'll stick with the traditional books for the most part so I can pass my love of books and reading down to those young ones. <br /><br />As for the cashiers in the shops today... well, my comment is already long enough and a bit on them would turn into a rant... but if they have to think to long their brains start leaking from their ears. <br /><br />Have a good week!TracyRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076335244153743730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-3158156344380648122011-06-05T19:12:30.596+01:002011-06-05T19:12:30.596+01:00I suffer from book addiction.

Customers also found it slightly off putting. I am still confused when people attempt to read books whilst running on the treadmill. How they do it without killing themselves is a wonder....xxNumber 11https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366208904794828521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-86582487851615388282011-06-05T15:55:29.310+01:002011-06-05T15:55:29.310+01:00@Andrea - you'd be in the extra high risk grou...@Andrea - you'd be in the extra high risk group then lol<br />@Violet - I watched a quiz show last week and one of the questions was how much is a first class stamp, they didn't know - and it was multiple choice. <br />@GB - I get that, I can see the value of them for students for instance, but all the marketing I've seen shows people reading them in relaxed situations. Of course it's a great idea, but for me it'll never be better then reading a proper book.dirtycowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193492692357362402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-66525105254141508262011-06-05T07:23:19.533+01:002011-06-05T07:23:19.533+01:00Kindle is the future for people who need to refer ...Kindle is the future for people who need to refer to a lot of books and have nowhere to put them all.
