Books? No more!
I just moved to a killer apartment in Brookline, MA. (I’ll post photos here soon, I’m in love with the place!)
The most cumbersome aspect of moving?
Books.
I’m a fan of reading (well, anything other than fiction. Personality ‘quirk’, I don’t have time for written fiction).
Books are heavy, cumbersome, far too numerous, and yet far too valuable to throw away. My friends & I have entered into a virtual-blood pact:
When the next revision of the Kindle launches, we are no longer buying physical books. We will try to go 100% digital for a year, and see how it suits us.
Who will join our experiment?
i would try this… but i really just like the physical feel of a book or magazine or something not digital. i stare at a computer all day at work—and yeah a good bit of that time is me playing on tumblr and the rest of the internet—and when i want to read a ‘book’ i want it to really be a book.
something about reading things on screen… even if it’s interesting i don’t want to read more than a few long paragraphs at once. weird.
Sara and I talk about this a lot. LOVE the Kindle, but there’s nothing like holding an actual book. I dread the day I have to move because I have wayyy too many books. In other news, I live in Brookline too, and I love it so much I never want to move. So maybe you’ll feel the same way too!!
