Many creepy crawlies owe their lives to my Kindle. I used to always have a paperback book handy to smash them with. Now they go free since I'm too lazy to put down my Kindle and and go find the fly swatter.

Back in the 60's, a door-to-door salesman talked my mother into buying a one-volume encyclopedia named The Volume Library. It's huge--one of the largest and heaviest books I've ever see in a someone's house.

She's been using it to adjust the height of her computer monitor for decades.
