passing of an era?

Sure there is something odd about naming a book-reading device after a verb that has to do with beginning to burn something (kindle)...and sure it lacks some of the sensory delight of a paper book...and sure I shouldn't read it in the hot tub....and I can't use it during take-offs and landings....but oh the technological delight, efficient packing pleasure, immediate gratification after reading a book review, decreased urgency to retrieve my mail (newspaper and magazines subscriptions automatically update), and hours of quality entertainment this will provide!

What is happening to our world...today I even put together a jigsaw puzzle online at jigzone.com!

Does this mean no one will be able to steal your morning newspaper?

I have been resisting the Kindle so far but my resistance if failing - not sure how much longer I will be holding out.

I love this and your other blogs! I'm inspired to create my own thinking one too :-)
