Oh, how I want one!
**I love books. Love them. I have overstuffed bookshelves and stacks of books all over my house. I consider defacing a book to be sacrilege. I revere books.
I also like shiny gadgets, and I feel that reading a pulpy paperback on a Kindle would be ok, and I'd save some trees, and, did I mention that it's shiny and pretty? And I could read blogs on it, too? And newspapers, therefore saving even more trees?
I could never, ever give up beautifully printed books, but I could give up crappy ones!
I'm still waiting for Oprah to pay my grad school loans. THEN I could buy myself one her highly recommended Kindles!

It's true about the pulpy paperbacks. I try to find them at the library so I'm not investing in something that I'm going to read once and be done with, but I can't always find those books at our local library. You've made some good points...

Oh! Now I want a Kindle too! How brilliant!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE books. The feel. The smell. The beauty. Well, paperbacks aren't beautiful.
So for now and for evermore, I decree that all paperbacks should be banned and converted to Kindle!

Yeah, I'm a book lover -- I love having books and looking at them on bookshelves and browsing. I just don't see getting into electronic books. (My husband is all for it, however, as he wants to cut down on "clutter." As if books are clutter...)
