I have caved in.... and now own an e-reader. I bought a subscription to a magazine, sent a few books to my Kindle account and now, it appears, I am set to rebuild library of several thousand books i had until last year - well not all the same ones, but you know what i mean... Then it occurred to me that I used to pass on old copies of Harper's magazine to friends - mainly I just kept them - and shared some, not too many, books with friends and students. But now that I accepted what I call the "acquiesced monopoly" that is Apple, I may no longer be able to share books and magazines. Not cool.
PS. Full Disclosure: Whatever replies/responses are submitted will be used (anonymously, of course) in a blog post I'm about to write about this. That way I will look clever.
