Sara replied to Hannah "Goatherder" Ermi's discussion Is the Kindle killing the book as we know it?"This sounds unbelievably corny, but I feel that books (real, bound books) have a sort of magic that doesn't exist on a computer screen.

Claudia replied to Hannah "Goatherder" Ermi's discussion Is the Kindle killing the book as we know it?"I love books, in fact I'm really addicted to them. The first thing I chose for my new flat was a bookshelf. For me books will never get out of style, they will always be important to me.

Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Hannah "Goatherder" Ermi's discussion Is the Kindle killing the book as we know it?"The thing that bothers me about this debate is where people claim to object to Kindles because "I am a reader".

Latch33570 replied to Hannah "Goatherder" Ermi's discussion Is the Kindle killing the book as we know it?"I don't think that it will totally replace books (nothing like having a book in your hands). But I like having my entire library on hand and lending it out to my favorite nephew."

x3LittleMrsGonzalez replied to Hannah "Goatherder" Ermi's discussion Is the Kindle killing the book as we know it?"Agree.

Today, I played with lego Harry Potter characters. A lot.
Other than that, I don't have much to say. Recently one of my best friends and I decided to watch the all the vlogbrother videos from the… Continue
