Granted the kindle or other device costs something, but for the price of that device thousands of books are available at no additional cost other than the electricity involved with the download.<br />Paper books will never be obsolete. People, including me, like to hold and smell them and always will. However if periodicals, especially dailies and weeklies, go electronic that'll save a lot of trees.Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-56787571458847132902010-12-12T20:48:43.766+02:002010-12-12T20:48:43.766+02:00Risa, thanks!
