Mr. M tried to convince me to get one.
No fucking way.
I pulled a couple books from the shelf to show him where an author had signed, what someone had written when they gave it to me as a gift, or notes I had made in the margins.
You can’t retain that level of personal significance with a machine.

They could update that old tv advert:

Little boy: “I want chocolate and a toy and a high tech book reading device”.

Tranquilised mother: “I know just the thing”.

There could also be an ‘after the watershed’ version where mum adds: “you ugly, demanding, obnoxious and more than likely a future fascist little cunt”).

Sorted.

I have to admit, I read books like I listen to music – can depend on the mood I’m in, I might want to go from one to the other. That said, short stories are my thing, so perhaps that’s why.
On the other hand, I love the physical object of a book. So, here’s an example of someone who’ll get suckered into buying one of them yokes, as well as books (although, someone told me the Sony is much better than the Kindle.)
