My son and I would take empty boxes to the used book store and lug books home by the trunkful. I do NOT miss those days. I hear people all the time saying they want *their kids to read "real" books. Getting kids to read anything at all is a win-win situation. Who cares if it's an Ereader?

I see a lot of that book snobbery all the time on some Facebook groups (for people who enjoy reading) that I frequent. The same old tired arguments get heated ad-nauseam.
Raise your hand if you've heard any of these at least once:
- "I could never read from a screen! So impersonal"
- "Nothing can match the feel of a REAL BOOK!"
- "You can't curl up with a Kindle!"
I used to get caught up in defending e-readers (I love them!) but now I just grab popcorn and watch the show. ;-)
