I have a Kindle and I use the public library constantly, as I whittle down the collection. It is people like me who supported Borders for years and then send it down the road to bankruptcy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292333714015045003.post-51230692508255281452011-01-18T15:23:11.262-06:002011-01-18T15:23:11.262-06:00Hi there Teri!

I am lucky in that I have two daughters who love most of my books, so they got passed on. I still have a large bank of bookcases in my bedroom full of the best loved, lots of garden books and earth science stuff and my New Agey books from the 80's. I still go back to them. But in the MoHo, it's now a Kindle. I will keep purging. But books, like rock and wall art, are the anchors that keep me from full timing I guess.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292333714015045003.post-42459009409707499362011-01-18T05:59:15.467-06:002011-01-18T05:59:15.467-06:00Hi Teri, great post.

While we have some books with us and carry a NOOK, I am always perusing the laundry mats (book swap locations) at the campgrounds we stay in. I often find myself in danger because Ellen knows me too well and tries to prevent me from carrying in those new found treasures that are often old and dirty, tattered with ripped covers, and smells of tobacco. Okay, I can understand the tobacco smell, but the other words pretty much describe me too. You can probably see the dilemma here. <br /><br />John<br /><a href="http://relaxedrush.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">relaxedrush.blogspot.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126827057034325406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292333714015045003.post-15141003234682138482011-01-18T05:23:51.212-06:002011-01-18T05:23:51.212-06:00I also love to read - I am planning on getting a K...I also love to read - I am planning on getting a Kindle.
