"BOOKS DON'T NEED A WARRANTY"! Fighting the Digital Age!

Rate: 2 Flag

If I want High-Contrast - I open the Blinds!

At my age; it's good to know - I still have enough energy to turn the Page!

Getting Peanut Butter on a Page is a Rite of Passage!

I know exactly where I put my Book - the Freezer!

In an emergency; I can feel assured - I can still keep my Battery in my Vibrator!

I like to throw my Book at the Dog when he's barking!

My Book doesn't need a change of Fonts!  But I may need a new pair of glasses!

If I don't "Dog-Ear" a Page - I feel unproductive!

I like to look at the Author's Photo & Bio & wonder; "Who'd marry that"?

"Bathroom Reading" definitely needs 2 Hands!  Please don't think of me next time - I'm begging you!

I might drop the Kindle in the Toilet - but proud to say - it never bothered me with my Books!

No "Downloading" necessary - just remember to visit the John before settling in!  (These are the jokes, folks - go to the "Gossip" Tag for reality!)

Don't have to figure "Aperture Ratio Loss" between each "Pixel" - besides; don't know what the Hell that is anyway!

And finally, and not a moment too soon..

 Finish the last page & think WTF; I could write this crap!

When you lose a book, you say,"Oh well." When you lose a Kindle, you feel like someone has stolen your brand new hi-def flat screen TV.

Besides, I have a very nice homemade bookmark that my daughter made for me. It's of no use with a Kindle.

When books get old they acquire a wonderful age-wisdom-lore-knowledge, musty scent; all a Kindle does is rust. ;-(

But seriously -- like it or not, there's a place for e-readers. I just finished a wonderful book, "Christianity -- the first 3000 years." The New York Times gave it a rave review, but the review included "It is difficult to imagine a more comprehensive and surprisingly accessible volume on the subject than MacCulloch’s. This is not a book to be taken lightly; it is more than 1,100 pages, and its bulk makes it hard to take anyplace at all. " That page count doesn't include illustrations, index and footnotes. The e-reader reduced it to 8 ounces. Without that I would never have finished it in my lifetime. Thanks to the Kindle, someone, somewhere may even read "War and Peace."

Sky - yes, Kindle's rust & they'll soon be obsolete. In a coupla years - they'll be a "Book Chip" available to insert in our heads.

Sam - thanks for stopping by! What can I say about a 1,100 page book read in a weekend! Right? But seriously, you have more patience to get thru such a weighty book than most & yes, I'll come around to Kindle soon - so check out my next blog - when I throw out my Smith-Corona Typewriter!
