I hear you on the tree thing, though.
You can highlight and add marginalia on a Kindle.... :)

I have tried using digital textbooks and not enjoyed the experience. However, there are some great auxiliary apps that have enhanced learning for me. Here's to the technological imperative!

I realised that I should date a girl who reads, the first time I dated one who didn't. She seemed to think that reading meant I was doing nothing, and felt compelled to find an activity for me. She didn't last long...

we need to have a Powell's day when you come in spring....cuz there were still 5 more aisles of cookbooks to comb through. and of course we can't ignore the ginormous queer aisle. i think i hear it calling us.....can't you? it's saying....pinnkkkkkk....persiiiiiii.....come to the dark siiiiideeeeeee......

I think u can highlight. Plus I could print some hardcopies of specific pages using recycled paper

Yeah, but can you write in the margins? Didn't think so!

I had this whole symbol system that indicated how important a passage was. I think there was like 5 different levels to how important a passage could be.

I have to say... I sure do enjoy a good reading from my girl before bed.

I don't write in the margins very often. I do however highlight some pages. If I am researching for an article I am writing I will use lots of arrow post-its.

I don't own too many books, most of them I get from the library. I have thought about an electronic book, however my research has shown me that I can't (yet) get the obscure titles I read. Otherwise I would switch. Alas, it is not yet to be.

I do subscribe to my magazines and journals online. I do like that.

I love reading, and am considering getting a Kindle soon. I love books, and am afraid I'll miss holding the book in my hand, but there are two of us in a 500 sq ft apartment and we're running out of room for more stuff. I also kind of have a habit of not remembering to return books to the library, so... :|

Hmm here's a new spin on the book topic.. What magazines does everyone read?

*Scientific American
*The Economist
*The Hastings Center Report (bioethics)
*The American Journal of Bioethics
*National Geographic
*NY Times
*7x7

When I got my nook (that I have since given to my Mum in anticipation of an ipad 3) I was worried I'd miss actual books too much. Thus far it doesn't bother me to use an e-reader or my phone. It's easier on my luggage costs when I travel, and I never forget to turn out the light.

Being able to download books is a dangerously delicious expense though.....

This is me!!!

I have so many books my hubby started throwing them out, then when I cried, he bought me a Kindle :cheer:

Now he brings me home magazines and ignores the small pile of books which is growing on my desk. He loves me, particularly as I buy him books too!

Journal of the AHIMA
Coding Edge
New England Journal of Medicine

I wish I could subscribe to many of these, but some subscriptions are like $1500 a year, instead I read them at the library every month

Me Too! (hazard of being the daughter of a librarian)

I still have 100s of bound books but I looooooove my Kindle.
I hope to spend a fair amount of time in my pajamas, Kindle in hand, next week.
