My reading records show that I last purchased books in May 2012. One was paperback (Saburo Sakai, Samurai! The Unforgettable Saga of Japan's Greatest Fighter Pilot), and one, never published in the US (Alex Dryden, Death in Siberia), was an eBook.

I'm mostly through a truly great page turner that may be the longest one-volume book I've ever read. It's The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert Caro. Pulitzer Prize, 1975. No eBook available. Even though I still read paper books with no annoyance, this one is so heavy -- it's impossible to hold standing up on the subway -- that I would pay for the eBook.

If by some miracle Mr. Caro is reading this, here's my message: Despite being an incredibly cheap library-borrowing you know what, I would gladly pay for the eBook director's cut described here:
