Interesting find, RDG, it makes danbloom seem even less sincere

I have never yet read a book on a e-reader, and in fact, have never even seen one of those\machines or devices. I am a book man. I am a meat and potatoes book man. I like books printed on paper, and I like newspaper printed on paper. I like the sensation of being able to hold the page close to my eyes when needed, and I like being able to underline words, circle words, cut out newspaper clippings for my files (and pockets) and with books I like to annotate in the margins, as I just did reading “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy. I wrote over 1000 words in the margins of the book as a I read it page by page last December. A moving experience. I cannot have such moving experiences on a computer. But I do like email and Internet searches and I get 50 percent of my news info now online. I will never read a book on an e-reader. Not me. But if other people prefer that way, cool. I am not a Luddite. I am a bookman.
