I am wondering if I am a slow reader, or if other folks have a higher 'must store' threshold than mine?

You know what I'm puzzled by? Logarithms. And how exactly Rob Schneider became a star (not Steve Guttenberg - I know that was the Stonecutters!).

But it never occurred to me to be puzzled about other people's reading or storage habits.

For the record, I constantly re-read, and carry everything I can with me. That is the single best reason for changing from pbook to ebook, in my opinion - I can carry 10,000 books in the space that one book used to occupy. I often am overcome with the desire to go back a read a specific paragraph, page, chapter, or entire book that I've read before. Now, I can do that, wherever I am.
