I still have books...
The Kindle is easier for say... reading the 54 books of the Animorphs series without wasting 300 pounds to revisit my childhood.
Or, you know, for on planes, trains and automobiles, where carrying The Complete Narnia Chronicles is somewhat unwieldy.
Or for when I don't want to drop £50 on a textbook I may never even use.

It's not a book replacement. It's a book augmentation ^_^

OMG. I fucking forgot about the Animorphs. See y'all in a week, I'll be reading this shit.

    If that's all he got, then adding the price of a standard 32" TV and a Nintendo Wii, then his gifts were worth less than yours all added up.

    Who's the brat now?

    He got a shit ton of games and controls and clothes and other stuff I just didn't feel like listing it. We're both spoiled as fuck.

    I'm surprised by how good it still is, even though I'm older xD
    Sure the language is simplified, but the books actually tackle some pretty deep themes.

    Until this very moment I have loathed the idea of a digital book reading thingamajiggy. But now it all makes sense!
    You make everything better!

    I know right? I've been so against it and yet suddenly there seems justification for it...

    I'm so jealous right now. All I got for christmas were a shitload of e-cards and chocolate from friends. Oh and $25 from my dad which I used to get myself 3 booster packs of Weiss Schwarz. I'm such a geek. D:

    Deep themes? Damn.. I have a set of them and I had no idea, maybe I should reread them. Care to share a few so I can look for them? (finish the break by reading a few of these books, no harm done)
