E-books

As an avid reader and a pretty computer literate person, you would think e-books would be like the mother ship to me. But they're not.

In a basic principle kind of way, I am opposed to another step the world is taking in isolating us from each other. If all books were ebooks, you wouldn't need to go to the book store or libary. There would be no story times. No family bibles that have been handed down from generation to generation.

I know, you are wondering if you are at the right blog.

But the easier to explain reason I don't care for ebooks is that you have to use a computer of some sort to access them. As someone who spends an average of 4-6 hours a day on a computer (filling orders, ansering questions, or writing), I don't find it comforting to "read" for enjoying on it.

Not earth shattering news. Just an interesting twist of fate I thought of today.
