Book Burning

I agree that books give a satisfaction and tactile experience not replicated by digital words. I find it very hard on the eyes, too.

I DON'T agree with the statement about magazines. Online magazines are great! I love magazines, but they pile up so and create clutter. And I have no problem perusing them in the car, at work on my lunch hour, or in the bathroom at all . . . that's what the iphone is for. I read fiction on my iphone, too, tho' not usually "books." I have the entire works of Shakespeare on there, for instance.
