I still wait odd times, for a friend to arrive for lunch or whatever and it's convenient to have a book to hand.

I hated to get rid of my paperbacks but they consume so much room. I like to go back to books I have read from time to time. With my Kindle there are no more paperbacks and once I finish a book it goes to the Cloud where I can retrieve any time I want. My Kindle allows me to create files for certain type of books - author, subject, whatever so I can retrieve easily whatever I want. And, of course, with BookBub I get thousands of books free or for $.99 or greatly discounted delivered direct to my Kindle within a minute of ordering. I see no way to lose. But, electronics isn't for everyone. Janet US |

I love paper because I used to work with the stuff. I like to check out a paper's weight, stiffness, grain direction, and surface texture. If I come across a fine sheet of paper, I'll examine it carefully. That's just a strange thing that I do. One of many I guess. |

Could be halfway through it, doesn't matter. I have never had to wait so long as to need another book. I don't care how anyone reads their books. I think reading is important. I also have always found it very enjoyable. Jill |

Went in and was attended to immediately. So while the man does my toe nails, I read my book rather than watching the rubbish television. The other thing I particularly like about an ereader is I can keep poetry on it for those times I would like to read that. Yes, I do read a book at a time, from cover to cover, then move on to the next, having so many available does not mean I skip around between them. I don't know why you assumed I 'bounced' around between books. Maybe you need to try an ereader and find out the benefits. Plus, think of all the trees it saves. |

I don't, because I hate having my feet touched, except by my husband or my doctor. Although, I'd guess that most pedicures are done by women. Was it the man doing it that squicked you out? > Also paper made from trees these days are a renewable farmed > resource. You don't save a tree by using paper media. True. But there are a lot of energy inputs involved in making paper, and a lot of pollution comes out (or has to be ameliorated in some way). My tablet probably generated more pollution than a book, but only once for the hundreds of books that I have on it. Cindy Hamilton |

One advantage is I do not have to buy nail polish for sandal season - so I can be as weird as I like, chose purple this a.m. (Hope that didn't give you a heart attack you poor conservative) > >Sorry but that is so weird to me, bordering on creepy actually.

Have you been in areas where they do that? They are no longer forests they are just rows of trees that grow quickly and there is nothing beautiful about them. Then they are all whacked down and anything living therein and the process begins again. |

You don't save a tree by using paper media. a lot of people get pedicure for very practical reasons besides being indulgent. And, bulk, palleted paper is piling up by the hundreds of tons in waste yards because there's no place to send is any longer. Your Recycling Gets Recycled, Right?
