Let me tell you how easy it is to get over your attachment to books—the kind with paper pages? Once you hold this gorgeous book-machine (yes, machine) in your hand, you won’t want to let go. Ever.
It’s surprisingly easy on the eye—so you can read for hours, even even bump up the type size. It’s easy to flip from page to page and back again. You can bookmark pages, highlight passages, even make notes! You’re automatically connected to Amazon, so with a click of a button, you buy your books—and they’re downloaded within a minute. Ooooooooh… I’m in love!
But dear librarians, here’s the question: what will you do? If our books become electronic, what’s the future for libraries? I know librarians all over the country are asking this very question—I read your blogs. (Wow, do you guys blog!) And what will become of bricks-and-mortar book stores?
Oh, how did I get my Kindle? After all, they’re not cheap. Well, my dear friend Lynne presented it to me as a gift! Give her a call. Maybe she’ll take a liking to you and get you one, too. Here’s her number: 202-555-1234. Good luck.
