I have both electricity and gas in my house and find them both useful. Gas can do some things better than electricity (I think) - but I wouldn't want to try to run my computer on it! It's the same with books and e-books.Sheila Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997206301877289623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479616775803938622.post-61741473832340056252012-01-03T19:31:05.955+00:002012-01-03T19:31:05.955+00:00Hi Maggie May - I enjoyed your ode too!

I'm an author who has eight books published as hardbacks/paperbacks/foreign editions!!) And I'm a reader who still reads books as well as e-books. But I still maintain that until you've tried something, you can't say whether you'd like it or not, and the Kindle can carry all my holiday reading for me with far more ease than my suitcase can!Sheila Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997206301877289623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479616775803938622.post-61900037496702619622012-01-03T17:57:37.140+00:002012-01-03T17:57:37.140+00:00Happy New Year, Olivia.
