Yes, I admit it! I was always one of the "Real books not digital!" brigade. Sadly I collided with two facts: (1) many books I want are by deceased authors and are mostly out of print and (2) I generally can't afford new books :sad2: So, there really wasn't much choice....

I have an iPod Touch and an old iPhone. My wife has a Kindle. And that Kindle gave me a fright this morning! Turned on the desktop PC and was abruptly informed that all my boot data had been changed :shocked: Nowhere had I seen a warning that that would happen if the Kindle was attached during boot up :angry: Of course it was rectified by unplugging the Kindle and rebooting. Feel sorry for novice users faced with that...

By the way, I'm Steve! :rofl: I'm an avid reader, both fiction and non-fiction. Married for 32 years this year, to Jenny. Three adult offspring, four grandchildren with a fifth due April, plus two step-grandchildren. Currently I'm severely health challenged, long term (2 years already) which has made a good source of books vital!

OK I'll stop boring everyone now :rofl:
