It was made of this thing called paper, the fonts where embedded on the on the paper, no down from some sort of crude alchemy was involved.
I sat there turning the fragile pages one by one, losing myself in the ancient lore. Yet I was brought back to reality by the awkward page turning and the uncomfortable weight of this thing called a book.
After the experience I was left to wonder. Is this really HOW people use to read? How awkward! --how did they do it to read more than one book. Did they really have tote around multiple books? There was no online dictionary, not way to annotate?! Wow times where sure different

I recently graduated from university and I really hope they start to use ebooks soon. there seem to be so many advantages, namely the annotations--a must for college classes. plus, i would not have had to endure the wrath of my senior thesis adviser, admonishing me for dog earing my paper books. this would also reduce costs so much!
