I have an...Okay. I've joined the dark side. <br /><br />I have an iPad.<br /><br />And I love it. iBooks.<br /><br />Like a kid in a candy store.<br /><br />But it's not the same tactile experience as curling up with a good book. Looking at the cover. Feeling the paper between your fingers as you actually turn the page. No need to charge anything.

I agree with JA - Technonolgy simply can't be stopped.<br /><br />btw..I just noticed they were selling VINYL records in Best Buy...what goes around comes around.Robin Constantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702857007702547325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-4710481902722834452010-10-05T07:00:55.746-04:002010-10-05T07:00:55.746-04:00Can you imagine the day a kid comes home from scho...Can you imagine the day a kid comes home from school and Mom asks, "Where's your kindle?"<br /><br />The child answers, "I swapped with a friend."<br /><br />Not exactly the book swap I imagine.Linda A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-45717345547069445432010-10-04T20:03:53.514-04:002010-10-04T20:03:53.514-04:00I haven't bought an e-reader yet, but I'm ...I haven't bought an e-reader yet, but I'm sure I will, and probably soon.
