i'm not that old, but i'm sure you are aware that horses were not phased out completely. can't say the same for the multiple industry workers who will join the ranks of unemployed and unemployable when the need for paper, print , distribution and retail of actual books wraps up. there's a difference between progress that improves lives and progress with a destructive effect. how many people do you think it takes for the kindle process? it will all be outsourced to maximize corporate profit anyway. selfishness is the new world order.

Makes me very sad. Within reason, everyone has the right to do as they wish. It's one of the great things in our country. I just wish people took the long view of their choices. Electronic readers sure are flashy, convenient and futuristic! Doesn't mean it's the best thing for our communities or our future.
As long as there are real books to be had-I'll be buying them. When there are no more newspapers, magazines, books or paper product available, I'll have to break down and buy a reader. Of course, the economy might be so bad, deteriorated to such a level, only the ruling class will be able to afford Kindles. Without the layers of commerce involved in the writing craft -perhaps there will be no one to write anything worth reading by the common folk.
Don't know, maybe I'm the one who can't see the big picture.

You're welcome. It's from Al- Anon- but it's appropriate for every situation. I find it helps as I am working to find peace with my lot in life, living within my means, within the boundaries of my commitments, trying to keep my spirits up and change my feelings.
It can be done- so I've been told 😉

I know, it's much easier to watch Fox News. Reading is so boring. This also makes it easier to pretend Obama hasn't done a thing for our country. I agree with you, I wouldn't want to spend time any place factual information was presented. What a waste of time !
