E-books Go Out of Fashion As Book Sales Revive

[Dave Monroe]

i'd have one of the things myself if new books came w/ free downloads,
like new vinyl tends to do (though i've downloaded very little music
in my time, was given an iPod i still haven't figured out to use (five
years now ...), + I've been back to buying vintage vinyl since the
turn of the century/millenium, once i found out i could actually dj
stuff i actually liked to people who actually like it). i'm infamous
here for lugging around piles of books  i used to carry a box w/ me
when working on papers, fill backpacks + then get new ones rather than
emptying one (i have a whole shelf in storage ...) et al.  plus ease
of searching (though i'm pretty good @ remembering--roughly--where
things are in books, BECAUSE they're solid objects, +, having written
a couple/three myself, I appreciate the value of a good index (so if
anybody here, or that anybody here knows of, needs one ...).  I do
have some pdfs (inc. Pynchon novels) on my "new" (a couple/three years
old, a mac airbook or whatever i got for a few hundred bucks from a
friend, the battery doesn't last long enough for him to use it in the
field, but i'm generally plugged in (in more ways than one ...), so
...).  But I'd still have the solid copies.  Can't loan out/sell
(which i never do, but ...)/give away (spares, i like things to find
good homes, + that includes information, hence my posts here (i
hope))/intimidate people w/ e-books ...
