I'm not sure how War and Peace will work this way--the mind boggles in many ways on this one, I should think.<br /><br />One thing that came up in my friend's friends' discussion of Kindle vs. Nook is that, apparently, some libraries have e-books that you can check out, but only on the Nook, not the Kindle. I thought that was a neat idea--I would imagine that Kindle will get it figured out so that they don't miss out on that, because I'm sure that could be a deciding factor for some people (and I've heard about that being the case at multiple libraries). I thought this was pretty neat--right up there with being able to "check out" the library's audio books from home and downloading them.Sherckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365366144078711301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075388423619128040.post-14023441477478151942011-01-17T13:34:32.943-05:002011-01-17T13:34:32.943-05:00War and Peace on your iPod.

I ...War and Peace on your iPod. The mind boggles.<br /><br />I have a kindle and I love it. I have shelves of books, and I love them. I see them in two different categories. The kindle books are the ones I'll read once, but never again. Also the ones with short stories or episodic in a way that I can stop/start without losing the thread.<br /><br />The dead tree books are old friends, or orphans picked up at yard sales, or gifts from my book club (we pass around books like friends toking). Some of them I will keep, to read again, or because they were pivotal in some way; others will move on to other homes, other hands.<br /><br />Kindle and hard copy books. Both are good.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395936525590364973noreply@blogger.com
