I just came to the conclusion that I much prefer reading a paperback or hardcover. Also, I really don't want my library trapped inside some sort of proprietary device that will be outdated in just a short time. I want to be able to look over my books thirty years from now, pull one out for a reread, or be able to give one to a friend.

Just the other day I bought Dave Egger's A Hologram For the King at a new bookstore that opened in town. The book is gorgeous. It's got a great texture, and the paper is quality. The inside covers and the leaf pages are a velvety blue textured paper. I saw it and was like: Fuck yeah, I deserve this! :)

I gave the Kindle a shot. I might use it for travel sometimes, but maybe not.
