In all fairness, when I got an iPod all my CDs went to boxes in the basement. Tom Send a noteboard - 31/12/2009 12:59:14 AM
It was a glorious, liberating moment that made my home more aesthetically pleasing.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

E-books spark battle inside the publishing industry everynametaken - 28/12/2009 05:12:01 AM 1579 Views
it makes much more sense to just buy a book. $5.99 is far cheaper than $9.99 *NM* callandor1000 - 28/12/2009 06:22:47 AM 458 Views
Yes, but you're talking about a paperback book, and one that's on sale at that. Bryce - 28/12/2009 12:23:31 PM 935 Views
I haven't paid more than $7.99 for a soft cover book in my life. callandor1000 - 28/12/2009 03:13:04 PM 867 Views
Yuo can also be 10th on a waiting list at the library and read it months after release. everynametaken - 28/12/2009 05:22:27 PM 1051 Views
But the chances of something happening to said device is greater than your house. callandor1000 - 29/12/2009 06:27:21 AM 975 Views
You realize that you could back up virtually your entire library on a single flash drive, yes? Ghavrel - 29/12/2009 09:43:51 AM 796 Views
No "virtually" about it-1 4gb flash drive=6000 or so books *NM* Corporal Crusty - 30/12/2009 02:28:20 PM 400 Views
Some people have larger libraries than that. But yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/12/2009 05:33:58 AM 345 Views
You answered your own question. You back them up. everynametaken - 30/12/2009 12:53:33 AM 963 Views
Depends where you live..... Caldazar - 28/12/2009 12:24:55 PM 890 Views
I think I agree BlackAdder - 29/12/2009 12:16:36 AM 1063 Views
If I were buying a book for mandatory reading (i.e., college), I might consider an e-book. Tom - 29/12/2009 03:28:31 PM 914 Views
A man after my own heart. rebelaessedai - 29/12/2009 04:04:19 PM 899 Views
Trade paperbacks are the ones with the heavy covers, right? Tom - 29/12/2009 08:19:33 PM 881 Views
Yeah. Different sizes and all. Fun to organize. *NM* rebelaessedai - 31/12/2009 04:19:57 AM 353 Views
you could always take the book covers OFF LadyLorraine - 30/12/2009 04:28:18 PM 845 Views
Well, yeah. But still. *NM* rebelaessedai - 31/12/2009 04:19:29 AM 357 Views
I prefer the opposite. I keep all my textbooks and prefer ebook versions of other works. *NM* everynametaken - 30/12/2009 12:55:55 AM 364 Views
I dislike e-books Camilla - 29/12/2009 03:56:10 PM 946 Views
I love that eBooks are the future. Much better than original books. The Shrike - 29/12/2009 05:19:40 PM 855 Views
Well we already have audiobooks BlackAdder - 29/12/2009 05:39:29 PM 905 Views

I like books Ryan - 30/12/2009 08:10:55 AM 820 Views
Sigh. This whole argument of ebooks versus regular books is beyond stupid. Ghavrel - 30/12/2009 11:04:46 AM 916 Views
I agree with you LadyLorraine - 30/12/2009 04:33:22 PM 875 Views

True. But there's no tangible difference between music from an iPod and music from a CD. Ghavrel - 31/12/2009 05:33:26 AM 840 Views
Ripping all my music and getting rid of the CDs was a space-liberating moment for me. everynametaken - 31/12/2009 06:18:20 AM 805 Views
