Me too. From the time I was ten years old, and for the next 70 years or so, I was a library freak, reading all I could find, as well as buying pBooks. However, since getting the Kindle1 more than a year and a half ago, have not set foot in a library. For the reasons you list here and also because it takes so much time browsing through the stacks, reading the blurbs, and trying to find what I want to read. Really tiresome. Same reason I gave up on Blockbuster and use Netflix.

Yeah, Jaxx, you have to get a grip, once the initial euphoria wears off and try not to buy the full 1500 books the K2 supposedly holds. You can load up hundreds of free public domain classics, however, and save some $$ that-a-way. Have fun!
