Didn't you learn to love printed books for themselves, the way they felt, the way they looked, the way they smelled? Didn't you delight in sharing them with your friends?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264664035215127547.post-27393927760381039002009-03-13T07:54:00.000-05:002009-03-13T07:54:00.000-05:00Hi Henry, I applaud your willingness to give the e...Hi Henry, I applaud your willingness to give the e-reader a try and embracing it. I tested a Kindle last year and really hated it. I really wanted to like it. I found it awkward and confusing -- and I'm not afraid of technology. The one thing I did like about it was the ability to read several different newspapers and magazines, though my preferred Sunday paper experience still involves being buried in newsprint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264664035215127547.post-45727092894023626652009-03-12T13:56:00.000-05:002009-03-12T13:56:00.000-05:00As I said, I'm not forsaking the printed book, jus...As I said, I'm not forsaking the printed book, just adding the e-book to my reading arsenal.<BR/><BR/>Along with the cat, the afghan, and the printed book, we'll just have to snuggle with a hamster, a handkerchief, and an e-book.HENRY KISORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366450710995335659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264664035215127547.post-14188522413144895672009-03-12T11:28:00.000-05:002009-03-12T11:28:00.000-05:00I would have to agree with Jennifer.

I didn't expect that you would be so pro e-book. <BR/><BR/>My husband I can see, any gadget that has buttons and lights up is on his wish list. <BR/><BR/>I guess until I try it I shouldn't knock it, but I don't think it will be the same snuggling under an afghan on the couch and reading. For one thing, the cat will have a harder time demanding attention b/c when a book is resting on my lap as I read he jumps up and covers the book, making him the center of attention. I think I will have a quicker time moving the e-book than a big hardcover book and thwart his attempts for attention. I must say there's nothing like snuggling with a cat and a good book on a snowy winter evening.<BR/><BR/>I do like the idea however that Jeremy can read a book in bed and not have the light on and disrupt my sleep. <BR/><BR/>I guess I don't know which side of the fence I'm on yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264664035215127547.post-4214849552990663972009-03-12T10:20:00.000-05:002009-03-12T10:20:00.000-05:00My God.
