Just the lovely smell of all those books as you walk through the doors. Not the same shopping on the internet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8120948856219192693.post-32048663040327219192011-03-13T14:47:20.045-04:002011-03-13T14:47:20.045-04:00This saddens me! i am all for progress, but to me ...This saddens me! i am all for progress, but to me nothing is better than holding a book in your hands. Weather it be a new book with a crisp binding, or a old first edition musty with age. Books are like friends to me. I am resisting getting an e reader, I know the time will come when I have to, for my writing and ease, but I will ALWAYS buy a traditional book.<br /><br />I think most people would miss the days of sitting in a little book store, or even a chain book store with a cozy coffee area, with a book and a cup of tea.(Book people anyway) I really don't want to see it become part of a romanticized past!

After all, most people wouldn't risk taking an e-reader into the bath with them for fear that they may drop it and ruin it. Sure, no one wants to drop a hard copy book into the bathwater either, but its ruin would not be as expensive of a loss.<br /><br />In addition, there are still people who cannot afford e-readers. However, the price of e-readers continues to drop, and I also wouldn't be surprised if the manufacturers of e-readers developed ways to protect them from water damage.Wordhelperhttp://www.wordhelper.comnoreply@blogger.com
