I get the books I am interested in from my local library...that is what I pay taxes to support....I know library now offers ebooks too....I wonder if they will be feeling the pinch as did Barnes & Noble and Borders and how many other "bookstores". I know this is definitely the electronic age; we are evolving just as we did from agriculture to industry, horse and buggy to cars (wonder what is in their future)...but I just don't want to be electronically connected....I want my anonimity(sp) sometimes.....actually somedays I don't even know where my cell phone is-usually at the bottom of my purse-dead!!!!!

Oh, another kindle/or similar devices question...someone said it can hold thousands of books....can they ever by deleted by the owner of the device? Is this thing battery operated, thus having to be plugged in nightly? Oh, my head hurts, I am going to go curl up on the couch and read a good book!!!!! ha, ha,
