Granted, I have not actually used an ereader but i have tried to read books on my PC. EPIC FAIL. Holding my laptap is just not the same as holding a good book. I cannot snuggle on the couch with an electronic. I need my book. A book is more personal to me and our society cannot afford to be any more impersonal than it is already. Long Live the Books :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669614214803844019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-37533941122459292302010-11-11T11:06:35.028-05:002010-11-11T11:06:35.028-05:00I agree with Maria, I don't think it is a bad ...I agree with Maria, I don't think it is a bad thing. However, I do think it will take a while to get to "print by order" society. <br /><br />I swore I would never own a book reader. However, while organizing my book shelves and trying to cram in a few more books, I realized how much less clutter I would have if I saved buying an actual book for those cherished ones and all others were eBooks. Since I hate clutter guess what I am asking for for Christmas. If I don't like it, I can always go back.<br /><br />If we do end up going to an electronic book society, can someone bottle "New Book Smell" so that I can always have that?Laura Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514017253796324345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-50062141444603746702010-11-11T10:44:41.824-05:002010-11-11T10:44:41.824-05:00WOW Maria good point.

Good points Maria.Good Choice Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642003814176567517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-83766403119432238522010-11-11T10:34:49.347-05:002010-11-11T10:34:49.347-05:00I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing...I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. Think about all the trees that will be saved - and the wonderful impact not having books will be on the environment. <br /><br />I don't know if it's feasible - but I think that one day the world should be a "print by order" type of place. That way, the publishers only have to print books that people 100% want in their libraries. I mean, there are hundreds of books that I've read and loved - but how many of those do I really NEED to have on my shelf, you know? But there are certain books (and I can probably count them on my hands)that I read over and over and couldn't live without.<br /><br />Finally...and sorry this is really long - but think about how many authors out there write AMAZING books but can't get published because the Publishing Houses don't think that that person will sell enough copies to make a profit. If the world were all digital (and you can already see this happening), more great authors will be able to get published for a lot cheaper - and have their stuff read :)MamaMartinez83https://www.blogger.com/profile/16744954971552844615noreply@blogger.com
