The Girl Who Hates Kindle
25 Apr
This started as an “argument” with a friend of mine on Facebook. She’s an editor at a literary website, but she believes that ebooks aren’t “real books.”
What year is it? Are we still going to live in the woods? Do you want me to go outside right now and look for a woolly mammoth? Ok, BRB.
Let’s get with the program people! Actually, I’m waiting for the day that books will be sent directly to my skull. Or maybe someone can make a machine that both automatically creates books and then automatically consumes them?
Egad, once again I’ve gone too far!

A football player.

Down fella!

She may hate Kindle, but she obviously loves cheeseburgers.
Don’t we all?

Your only response is to go for personal insults? Tells me, that you don’t really have anything intelligent to add. Please go back to your cave until you learn some manners.
You’re hilarious.
But I disagree. What makes a book? If your answer is the physical manifestation with pieces of dead trees, then sure, e-books are not real books. But if a book is the content, the actual written part, then e-books are books. Or perhaps you think a book is only a book if it has both. Still it’s then just about terms. If you NEED that physical contact with a book, where you can flip through the pages and smell the paper, fair enough. But the story is still the same. That story can still take you away from this reality, no matter how you read it.
I completely understand… I don’t yet have a Kindle – I’m reading my Kindle books on my Kindle for PC. I find I don’t have much interest in reading the Kindle books, although I have a lot of interesting books that I have purchased and downloaded. I like curling up with my REAL book and stroking the pages as I read.
Can’t do that with a Kindle!
That hasn’t stopped me from WANTING a Kindle Fire – I’m still trying to determine if I can justify the cost. Will I actually enjoy it as much as a REAL book?
Still pondering this!
