More on the Kindle

[jennythereader]

The Kindle is better than paper books because:
- easier to carry
- completely searchable
- get more titles instantly
- add your own footnotes and highlights, which are as searchable as the text itself
- 2G of memory, which translates to approx 1500 books

Paper books are better than the Kindle (or other ebooks) because:
- you can't get an ebook autographed
- you can't loan a friend an ebook
- you can't sell an ebook to a used bookstore when you're done with it

Yeah, but I don't even take new paper books into the tub. Only cheap paperbacks I bought at garage sales and the like. I've ruined one too many library books.

I think that's actually a tradition, though, at least with copies of Good Omens.
