So any references to the time before ebooks don't apply now.
It mattered because before I had a kindle I enjoyed plays like Rent, and movies based on old stories. How many film versions of Cinderella come out per year? Heck my own dvd collection has Ella Enchanted, Ever After and the Princess Diaries. And two version of Les Miserables.
