Right? I know I do some reading on my itouch but the screen is sort of small. I remember on the original Star Trek that Captain Kirk collected actually books. So I believe books will never be totally replaced.

(now thats a run on sentence) What I find with technology that I get more options not less. The problem is when people believe there is a magic bullet, one device that does it all. An iPad does NOT replace a laptop, a laptop does NOT replace a desktop, etc... So wouldn't that mean that a kindle does NOT completely replace a book?Mr. Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773613696772522404noreply@blogger.com
