It's the experience.<br /><br />Don - I can see that, especially with academic books. But I also get the running out of space issue.Tia Bachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18336780518125138789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-32961321403985188922013-06-24T15:49:34.859-04:002013-06-24T15:49:34.859-04:00I must admit the video WAS funny.

The motivation was simple - we have run out of room to store books in our house. All the shelves are packed and I have books in and out of boxes in every room including the garage. What I did not foresee was that in the world of academia, e-books are not properly formatted to permit annotation for researching, studying or writing. The best I have been able to do is convert some of the books into PDF and use an annotation app for my iPad. <br /><br />Obviously I still love good old paper book or I would have gotten rid of all of them. I dream of a house with walls and walls of built in shelves and a massive private library. I can dream can't I?Don Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059367305094674156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-52534344078650527702013-06-24T09:42:55.433-04:002013-06-24T09:42:55.433-04:00OMG! ROFLMAO!! How awesome was that video? :) I lo...OMG! ROFLMAO!! How awesome was that video? :) I love the feel and smell of books. I can't imagine going paperless. Hell, I ordered an extra copy of your book just so I could hold it in my hands any time I wanted. Plus, it looks good in my portfolio :) hehe WRITE ON!Jo Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005237887461809640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-73743185562152533372013-06-23T17:47:42.911-04:002013-06-23T17:47:42.911-04:00The video was cute.

I can't see myself bringing a Kindle into a hot bath when my back is aching the way I do with a magazine. (I still haven't bought one but do have Kindle apps for my laptop and my phone). I believe the printed word will always have its uses.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.com
