Me either. But then I spend most of my time in limited areas near my home and work, so maybe I'm missing something in another part of town.

I've read paper and I've read e-ink and I do more reading on e-ink now than paper. The kindle is lighter to hold and as others have mentioned you can change the size of the text to compensate for aging eyes. Paper never has managed to learn that trick. Still there are some good books that aren't yet out in ebook format so little libraries still have a place in the world. |
I still wear a wrist watch (I'm way over 35!) To me, relying on a phone for the time is like going back to the days of our great-grandfathers who had to pull a watch out of their pocket. I much prefer being able to just look at my wrist.
