I have books too, I order on amazon almost as much as my techie ones.

The trouble is I run out of space so reluctantly I have to have a clear out now and them and take them to the British Heart  Foundation charity shop.

I can store thousands of books on my kindles :)

I love 'real' books too, especially second hand ones where you find notes etc left by the previous owner.  I have books that have been given to me by friends who have written in them or passed down the generations...you can't do that on a kindle!

You can you can share notes about books or share extracts, the same sentiment just a digital approach.

Kindle owners can be part of a community sharing their love of books.

Having a kindle gives me the best of both worlds. I can try out new authors and genres often for free on my kindle. I enjoy books from the library as well and agree that the feel of a real book is something that can't be replaced, a kindle does come in handy for taking on holiday though and being able to increase the text size is also an advantage. At the moment am reading a series by Aretha Franklin about a mediaeval female anatomist- really well written and fascinating, I just love reading, losing myself in a book, real or electronic is escapism from the troubles of menopause!!
