But I truly am nostalgically with you in wanting to hold a book in my hands. I guess our kids and their kids will feel really comfortable with an e-reader, but I don't know about me ever getting to that point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-64677749990585850732010-09-02T17:11:39.841-04:002010-09-02T17:11:39.841-04:00Oh my, you guys are so right -- I didn't reall...Oh my, you guys are so right -- I didn't really think about the paper used for books. I was just going with my 'gut' feelings about loving to hold a book in my hand. At this point I can't imagine ever reading a book via Kindle but then at one time I would never have thought that I'd be making long distance friends whom I would never meet in person!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999711983585051357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-49743241493125240342010-09-02T09:07:41.776-04:002010-09-02T09:07:41.776-04:00Penny, I know your thoughts and feelings. I've...Penny, I know your thoughts and feelings. I've had them as well. I worked in a library, and every time I pass there now I wonder how long it will be around. Books are treasured by many of us, but it is a sign of our times that hard copies of everything are disappearing. Even though I joining you in mourning this (big sigh), I think we have to pay attention to the importance of preserving trees. They are important to the very survival of our planet. Maybe another kind of hard copy substance can be invented that won't hurt the environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-39471557820095857612010-09-02T08:45:48.052-04:002010-09-02T08:45:48.052-04:00You are so write, I mean right!
When I am at work...You are so write, I mean right!<br /><br />When I am at work, I use spell check or an on line dictionary. However, when I am home, I get the Websters. I have taught my grandkids to do this also, even though the computer is available to them. I suppose its old fashioned. I suppose I should want to save a tree. I suppose the cost of each book will increase because they print less. I suppose I SHOULD want Kindle. But I don't. I want to read the newspaper in the AM. I want to hold a paper book in my hand when I read, and I WANT to use a book to look up a spelling, meaning, synonym etc.<br /><br />I'm 58 and old school.Carol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.com
