All these hassles of an electronic text reader, shaped the same dimensions as a simple paperback book and with many times the cost!!! Jeepers, mr. Wilson!

I guess I’ll just stay with my paperbacks (who would steal a real paperback book when they could steal your kindle?), and gladly add it back among the 300 others i have on my ‘read’ shelf, not counting the numerous ‘to be read’ books.

Maybe some day they’ll figure out a USB connection for a paperback book, and sell it to the millenials.

(Remember Dilbert, the etch-a-sketch reboot, and his boss?)

I keep waiting for some distant relative to buy me a Kindle as an XMas present.

So I will ask the question now—is it ok to burn them in the wood stove? ;-)

I’ve got a USB equipped pet rock.

Someone with tons of opinion and ounces of understanding. The size of a paperback and a couple of hundred novels or non-fiction which are searchable for words and phrases.

Big difference.

I Use a paper White to duplicate non fiction books as reference, that don't need highlighter and/or marginal notes.
