I always hated trashing books, so having lived in France for the past twenty-five years where English-language books are hard to give away, I have a couple of thousand paperbacks and hardbacks lining the walls of our tiny apartmen and standing here and there in wobbly stacks. Drives my wife nuts. Since I got my reader, though, I've been coming round to the idea that all these millions of printed words are just clutter. All my recreational reading now is done on a 505 and even the info in most of my reference books is available on line. Time for a clean-out. And only a few months ago, the very idea of not being surrounded by treebooks would have made my head spin. Neil
