happy, happy, DR Druxy. Glad the snow stayed in Austin and didn't get this far south. We only had slush.
TOD: I don't have a Kindle and I do have 20 bookcases or more in house with books overflowing onto the floor in stacks. And I've actually read about half of them and use many more as reference.
That said, I wouldn't mind having one (though I'd probably prefer the Nook since I worked at Barnes & Noble and am a little more familiar with it). I love reading 19th century novels, particularly Anthony Trollope at this point. I can't find two of his for less than $25 a copy, and for badly worn paperbacks at that. Yet both are available electronically for 99 cents apiece. So, I may have to do that if I finish the rest of his books before I find decent, affordable copies.
I can also see using an e-reader for plane trips and for heavier-than-necessary works, like the new Stephen King. But I also have a friend who says she doesn't absorb as much from a book when she reads it on her Kindle as she does when she has a copy in her hand.
So, it's a toss-up, but probably an inevitability, especially for those of us searching for out-of-print books.
