The rest of my life is fairly plain vanilla, but about books I am openly poly. :-)
I love my Kindle (read 3 books on it in two days last week). Its crisp display--its wireless access to the internet--its window on a bookstore I don't need to travel to reach--it's the perfect magic book. I love my iPod Touch's "handful of glowing jewels" LCD screen--the books are free from Gutenberg, the Touch fits in my pocket and goes everywhere with me, the backlight makes it perfect for reading under the covers, and when my eyes get tired, that reminds me to turn it off and go to sleep. And I love my old paper books and frequently reread them, and buy new paper books by preference for items where I need a large format or large color illustrations--woodworking books and graphic novels pop to mind.
How fortunate I am that none of these beloveds are jealous of the others!
