Hi Jon. I feel in a very similar way, being a compulsive reader since very young, with this new abundance I can read what I choose rather than what I find. Pbooks deteriorate fast if one has to take them out, put them away, find the page, bend them to read them single handed, while commuting for instance. And when I go in holidays or on a business trip of few days, the reader makes a big difference.
A difference that I noticed is that I have more books going on than before, and the reading is more dispersed, fragmented, and there are more books that go in hibernation before being finished. Is this better? worst? Who knows, it is different, it's a new way. I read more books, but I do not read more. I do not think that I will go back to the old pattern. So this is a part of the progress, like the petrol fumes in the streets. But who wants or can revert to horse carriages?

I need clarification (not on Apple, please, I do not want to ignite an other religious war). What is Agency 5?
