I have no interest. I have bought about 8 hard copy books though!Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464664132568595308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386602194958380719.post-74330387681353771312012-09-02T09:22:57.770-04:002012-09-02T09:22:57.770-04:00Joe are you implying that I have clutter??

I vision myself being one of the few people who can survive without all the gadgets...no cell, no Kindle, no computer, no lights, stove, heat, hot water...I do believe I could live comfortably. Most if not all of the current generation of kids would not make it. Books are just one thing that Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464664132568595308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386602194958380719.post-11509768873580892182012-09-02T09:20:08.121-04:002012-09-02T09:20:08.121-04:00Kat that is when I use my Kindle.

I just don't like reading from the Kindle anymore. I always get a headache!Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01464664132568595308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386602194958380719.post-21246848591544034352012-09-01T21:50:33.767-04:002012-09-01T21:50:33.767-04:00I've had one since 2008, and I can barely read...I've had one since 2008, and I can barely read a paper book anymore. There are two I really want to read, but, I refuse to pay the $14+ for them on Kindle, and just never get around to going to the library for them. <br /><br />Interestingly, since I really got hooked, I rarely ever re-read a book. I used to read many multiple times. Now? I go find something new to read.<br /><br />You do William Teachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447753680268439618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386602194958380719.post-65942240108183579502012-09-01T12:57:18.195-04:002012-09-01T12:57:18.195-04:00I think we've had this conversation before :)
...I think we've had this conversation before :)<br />I think the Kindle is a godsend to those who do not want the clutter of books all over the place. That, and for those who are conscience of the environment and trees. That said, I too prefer the real book over the device book. Magazines too- my wife has many collections of several different titles.Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386602194958380719.post-16203094141140848412012-09-01T09:16:06.318-04:002012-09-01T09:16:06.318-04:00I love the Kindle for travel and for the "bra...I love the Kindle for travel and for the "brain candy" books. When I actually need to LEARN and RETAIN info, a hard copy is indispensable, because I need to highlight and write notes. Microsoft was developing a product called the Courier a few years ago (they ditched it - further proof they've lost their mojo) which would have been *great* because you COULD "write" on it.
