I very frequently like to re-read books. I got SO tired of hunting the bookshelf, the cabinets and the attic to find a great book to reread... only to find my spouse threw it out. Now, with the Astak Pocket PRO holding up to 8,000 eBooks.... I read, put them in folders, and find them in seconds.

Plus I am well aware of the harm that the bleaching of paper (trees are not white pulp) and the clogging of landfill in California causes. So, why go back to hunting through endless boxes when I can carry every book with me everywhere!!
I'm with you.
