2. I don't think
that anything can ever replace my love for a book; the smell and the feel. I'm old school.

5. me either, but I have a bad habit of reading several books at a time
and it's hard to carry 4 books at once in my purse to work.

and Kindle gives me magazines and blogs and newspapers I can't get out here in the sticks

all in my purse

and free samples of new books before I buy

I want.

I'm a writer and seeing my work on a Kindle screen is never going to replace the rush I get when I see a book of mine on a library shelf or on display in a bookstore. Nothing compares.

Bless you for being a reader. :toast:

9. I was thinking about getting one of those a few weeks ago...
but nothing can replace a book, not even a cool, expensive toy.
