I guess this is all too much for me. I find it very frustrating trying to wade through all these techno-terms.

Mobi, DRM, DRM-free, non-Amazon-DRM-ed Mobi and on and on and on.

Screw it. I'll go to the library where ALL the books are free.

I can get online and request a book from one library in the system and it will be at my library in two days maximum.

I can wait. There's something to be said for "instant gratification" and there's something to be said for having patience too.

I remember teaching my children to speak and later on, to read. If it were possible, I suppose it would have been easier to "download" these skills to them all at once.

But I would have missed out on some of the best times of my life and some of my fondest memories.

Yeah, the hell with ereaders. Electricty fails, batteries die. When this happens give me a blanket, a book and a candle. I'll be fine.

If you're around, maybe I'll read to you.
