I came to the sudden conclusion that ebooks could never replace physical books
Well the picture says it all.
I wish there was a great story as to why I was jumping on my bed, but there isn't. Suffice to say I found I needed a stop gap solution to suspend my bed while I repair the wooden beam that supported it. =X= |

Hey, secondary market use for old college textbooks! Or out of date reference books.

I would have wished the same. Then I would have made one up.

I'm glad you found a use for old computer books! Nobody wants those!

example 1 (caught jumping on bed): I was trying to kill a spider on the ceiling and couldn't reach it... example 2 (caught jumping on bed while naked): I was trying to kill a spider on the ceiling and couldn't reach it. I didn't want it to fall into my clothes if I missed... example 3 (caught jumping on bed, partner in room): He/She made me try to kill a spider on the ceiling and I couldn't reach it... example 4 (caught jumping on bed, partner in room, both naked): Well, you see, there was this spider... We were worried it might fall, umm... example 5 (caught jumping on bed, more that two people in room, all naked): Ewww! TMI! Rent a hotel room next time! |

You cant beat the feel of a paper book but no one would be able to prise my kindle from my hands, i love it. |

Secondary market? Just grab a handful of yellow books that keep getting dropped off at everyone's doorstep.

I would just smile and say the hubs and I were having wild monkey sex. That would shut our kids up. LOL (they are 19 and 21)
True story, we actually broke a bed at my aunt's house once, and she slept through it, thank goodness. |

I'm in my room jumping on the bed and my kid is in my mother's room jumping on her bed. We can see each other through the open door, but my mother can only see him and scolds him, "act your age." The three year old WTF look I got was priceless. I kept jumping until she thought to look through the door, "Act YOUR age," she scolded. |

what i would probably miss from physical books is that they can be a conversation starter when someone sees your shelves and inquires about them. it's a way to subtly get to know another person through observation

I actually thought that looked kind of nice. Hmm, designed bed legs for bibliophiles...
