Up hill both ways right?  When I was a kid, it was 5 miles uphill both ways... in 8' of snow. We had to carry "homemade periscopes" to see over the snow drifts.  You guys had it soooooo easy.  When db was a kid, it took 3 days to get to the "Bedrock Library" (water breaks for his dinosaur)

True, but once we got they taught us how to spell Candle correctly!
But using a Kerosene Lamp made for easier reading on the eyes.

He asks, "does anybody have a Kindle?"
Not me says I.... I have no concept, nor do I have a grip... LOL.
Actually, S-girl has one of those silly things. She loves it. If nothing else, look at the room you save by not having all those books on the shelf.

My brother has one (or some brand) and loves it. I am thinking of getting one, but havent really investigated them yet. Its hard to imagine "cuddling up with a kindle" though.

My wife has a Nook from Barnes and Noble and is very satisfied with it. They now have a full color version if you need that for you specific uses ( cartoons, illustrated children's book or movie downloads)
