I remember them! I would check them out at the school library. Then when my mom pulled me out of school due to her mental illness I got them through my cousins who didn't read. They would check them out for me. Then later through my young nieces who lived with us.
My love for reading has always been there. No one in my family reads so I was the oddball. My family thought it was strange for me to want to read books.
I can say I read a paperback slower than an ebook. I believe this is due to font size and my eyes. I have to take breaks when reading a paperback. Specially those old romance novels. The print is tiny!
