i’m absolutely torn on this.
my initial response is completely against it; maybe i am simply too old fashioned, but i absolutely grimaced when i first saw the thing. an electronic simply cannot replace a book for me.
but then the environmentalist in me is like “hey! think of the trees!”, and though the other side of me is like “pshh, but think of the books”, i guess it does have some positive aspects. and i’m sure the kindle is good for some people, who may have some sort of problem in which they can’t easily read a book, and the kindle makes it easier for them.
i mean, it is the same literature, but. i don’t know. i wouldn’t buy one. i’ll plant more trees and keep buying books.
