Having to keep track (and care) of MANY books while on the road is something I could do without.

Last time my son was deployed I bought him an e-reader, since he is a voracious reader also. I am buying a camper now with limited space, and I asked my husband for a kindle for my birthday present. He bought me a Kmart tablet "they said was just as good". I suppose I will have to try to get it opened up and see what operating system it has...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-69397802307697337412016-05-08T11:16:11.354-07:002016-05-08T11:16:11.354-07:00I love my e-readers and I consider them one if the...I love my e-readers and I consider them one if the greatest invention since slice bread! However, I still purchase hard-copies, mostly reference books. And there are times I'll get a book just so I can open it and peruse through the pages and to enjoy the anticipation of what is yet to come as I turn each page. As much as I enjoy my e-reader, I won't be giving up books anytime in the future.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864938400908159080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-24806967968287144662016-05-07T21:42:40.826-07:002016-05-07T21:42:40.826-07:00Some of us don't or won't read books or th...Some of us don't or won't read books or the paper on an electronic device. Buy books at yard sales, flea markets or antique malls and donate them to Goodwill or thrift stores when you're done reading them.

Have been a kindle-phile for almost 10 years, have not purchased one book! Yes, each email from the following sites includes free books! I have 4 grandchildren ranging in age from 2 thru 8 and I have kindles for each one loading books on all in preparation for their entry into reading. The oldest now gives me booklists for her kindle birthday wants.
