I was also a little hesitant about the digital reader at first but given my lack of space to store books these days, it's actually been very convenient. <br /><br />Thanks for dropping by my blog yesterday!<br /><br />- <a href="http://www.rulethewaves.net" rel="nofollow">Li @ rulethewaves.net</a>Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871581987975969155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-16529038376612207592012-08-28T15:19:23.837-05:002012-08-28T15:19:23.837-05:00Three things I always do when I'm in someone&#...Three things I always do when I'm in someone's house for the first time:<br /><br />Check out their CD's<br />Check out their DVDs<br />Check out their books.<br /><br />You can tell a *lot* from what they listen to, what they watch and what (if anything) they read.CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-38940129350193108072012-08-28T12:36:57.987-05:002012-08-28T12:36:57.987-05:00I always try to find a bookshelf.

Not that I object to reading books from viewpoints opposed to my own, but I thought that, unless the writing was exceptional, the total disconnect with my own beliefs would hamper my enjoyment of the series. I get the feeling I made the right call. :)<br /><br />And I always look for someone's bookshelf when I visit. You can learn a lot about someone from what they read. I always say, you don't really know me until you've visited my library. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-34378148758326575842012-08-28T11:46:53.108-05:002012-08-28T11:46:53.108-05:00Stephen, if you break it they send you a new kindl...Stephen, if you break it they send you a new kindle for free if you send in the broken one...

I still buy paper books, those I know for a fact I'll love and reread often. Ones I'm just curious about, I put on my Kindle. <br /><br />"3.

I still definitely prefer physical copies, but I'll default to my ereader for travel (and for the benefit of free downloads of out-of-copyright classics.)
