I am a book sellers nightmare. I love to read, but live less than 1/2 mile from an excellent public library. I can walk in about 10 min. and ride in less than 5. No need for vast library space although occasionally patience is required. The Kindle/I-pad concept intrigues me not so much for books but rather newspapers and magazines. I love both but do not desire to have them cluttering up my home. Since I can borrow books, I think I'll stick with the feel and smell of the printed page.
