I will remain a traditionalist in this way (and a few others, lol!) and will not go willingly into the 21st century with eReaders....*Stamps foot in stubbornness, then sits down and pulls out a paperback book for a quick -ish read* LOL!

No kindle for me either. I like books. The same with newspapers.

You're a Butch after my own heart....umm....except I'm a Femme, but, you know what I mean (....I hope!), lol!

Sunday mornings were meant for a loving couple to snuggle up together and read the newspaper together with

,lol!

By the time I've bought a kindle and paid £7....something to download book, I can buy a bookcase full of books for the same price, lol!

I love books too. But I'm going to try and switch over this semester and have all my text books on my ipad.

The trees.

But, then you can't "highlight", right? Or is there a way to do that on one of those things? If not, would make it hard to study for an exam (for me, anyway).

I had a friend in college who was so obsessive-compulsive with everything in life that she used a ruler when she would highlight!

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...

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.

pinkgeek · 12-17-2011, 10:10 PM
