"Love my Kindle. Love actual books. There's room in my life for them both.
There's no denying that books have a romance to them. My home would feel pretty empty without overflowing bookshelves. But I have to admit, I read a lot more since I…"

Madison Taylor replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I love love love physical books, and I would be heartbroken if they all started be released electronically.
That being said, I own a Kindle (one of the ancient ones with the keyboard), and I love it. I struggle with reading off screens, but…"
Zoë Achilles replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I'm against the electronic books, because I like holding the book in my hand, it's more "romantic" and I will read more when I have the book like that, because I don't want to have to turn my computer on all the time... But…"
David Zebarah replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I agree that there are a lot of good reasons why ebooks are a good thing. But I have three words that very fully explain why I hope regular books will continue to be printed: Used book stores. You can't do that with a digital copy."
Jaclyn Hannah Wainman replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I recently bought a Kindle after taking quite a while trying to make up my mind about it. Mostly for the reasons you mention - the physical feel of a book etc. I thought I'd really miss the things about books that you don't get…"
Emma Karolina Josefin Arkstål replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"Books are sacred to me. Without books seeping out of every corner, my home won't feel complete, without book shelves lining every wall in my home, and bookcases dividing the rooms into smaller areas, I would feel lost.
With that said, I do own…"
Danielle Hanifin replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"There are a number of sponsored websites and communities where you can buy out-of-print books online. It's not through amazon, but the files are still 100% compatible with e-readers. Some of these books are free and some are not. I have found a…"
Danielle Hanifin replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I agree with Adrienne. At first I was very skeptical about buying a Kindle because there was no physical feel of a book being in my hands. Something was very wrong with this, indeed. But I chose a kindle because the screen is less like a computer…"
Adrienne Cory replied to Sarah Beth's discussion Books on Computers? in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"I own a Kindle and I absolutely love it. I live in a tiny tiny town so a lot of the books I want to read are really hard to get here so it's awesome to be able to get them in a matter of seconds. I can also fit it in my purse so i can whip it…"
Sarah Beth replied to Missy Smith's discussion Books you read over and over again in the group Nerdfighters Who Like Talking About Books"From ages 8-12 I read the book Crash by Jerry Spinelli at least 8 times. It was just such a fantastic book that never got old. I still read it sometimes, but not as much."

Anti-Twilight Nerds
For all those nerds who also loathe twilight. Hey, if they have a group, why can't we? This is your place to rant (logically) and unite with fellow "anti"s. Because real vampires don't sparkle.
Sarah Beth posted a discussionHelpful things this summer
Now that school is over I have a free summer. I couldn't find a job so I have hardly anything to do. I decided that instead of moping around the house I would try to do something signifiant every day. I plan on keeping some sort of notebook about every thing I do. Some ideas I already have are sending flowers to a random person and making a sidewalk chalk mural infront of the library.Do you guys have any ideas? It has to be something low or no cost and something I can do locally in hometown…See More
