Even though they weigh me down traveling, a woman once told me a book I gave her changed her life. That book was given in a hostel, both of us women en route. That kind of exchange is too precious to risk losing to convenience.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04174500597614829718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590105980864822497.post-9971428183732754912012-03-31T18:37:48.934-04:002012-03-31T18:37:48.934-04:00I love having both.

Now I love downloading free books, borrowing paper books from the library, and still giving Amazon lots of money for both.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456726438933742899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590105980864822497.post-70924458194211700682012-03-31T16:27:13.550-04:002012-03-31T16:27:13.550-04:00Like Chris, I read in both realms.

Like you, I like to add books to my library at home and school. If I really need a new read, and my daughters might enjoy the book, I choose an e-book.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102939630771341497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590105980864822497.post-68198884698685149562012-03-30T17:51:25.033-04:002012-03-30T17:51:25.033-04:00I know what you mean about using paper books inste...I know what you mean about using paper books instead of e-books. I am the same way when it comes to the battery dying on my cell phone. I would be very upset if I could not read because of a dead battery. In the same way, I go on vacation and always forget my charger. It has ruined my vacation many times. But at least I still have my books. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759189741308799388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590105980864822497.post-9101028201085266562012-03-30T17:46:56.419-04:002012-03-30T17:46:56.419-04:00Thanks Hope!Thanks Hope!Beth Scanlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013556968803038443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590105980864822497.post-2947166907251776482012-03-30T17:45:33.958-04:002012-03-30T17:45:33.958-04:00I love your stories.Their so lively!I love your stories.Their so lively!Beth Scanlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03013556968803038443noreply@blogger.com
