I think it's in our genes now. E-books are wonderful for convenience, saving space, and for allowing those with severe reading problems to read again...but for many, many of us there is no way they will ever replace physical books.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-65145840875610343742015-09-30T12:55:26.235-05:002015-09-30T12:55:26.235-05:00I will never abandon my paperbound library.

I hope they will always preferJeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-44807046750860825392015-09-30T09:29:49.298-05:002015-09-30T09:29:49.298-05:00Glad to hear your Little Free Library is still up ...Glad to hear your Little Free Library is still up and running, Teresa. I know that's been quite a battle for you guys. I'm with you in that I really enjoy my Kindles at times. I just got a review copy of every single thing that Jack London has ever written...over 20 novels, about 150 short stories, and a whole lot of other stuff...all in one Kindle file. That would take a whole lot ofSam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-45364421013123433822015-09-29T21:04:55.374-05:002015-09-29T21:04:55.374-05:00Certainly folks love the "real" books th...Certainly folks love the "real" books they are able to get from our Little Free Library, although I think people love to donate to us because they are saving fewer of their hard copy books now that e-storage is available. I still prefer the hard copy of books but I do own Kindle that I enjoy for convenience.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666609213171939599noreply@blogger.com
