I expect that you're right Pete, that the next generation won't feel the same way.... Good news for the trees i guess.<BR/><BR/>My friend was staying last week and we had exactly this conversation and she produced her Kindle to show me. it's a really cool object I have to say. It's light, it's beautifully designed, the screen is amazing. I can see them becoming the norm. But I hope that there'll still be paper books around while I still am!JaneyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951739945670483199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-34071951777560009392008-06-20T08:50:00.000-07:002008-06-20T08:50:00.000-07:00you are so, so right, Paca.
