e-books

I don't know how you feel about reading e-books. In all honestly I have been against it for years. There is something about having the book in your hand. Seeing the beautiful cover of the book. Being able to loan the book to someone. Even the smell of a book that an e-book can not replace. I also fear that with e-books the printed word is going to up and die away. That generations from now will look at books in awe. 
My main reason for finally giving in to getting one is the fact that there were short stories by authors I love that I could not read unless I gave in to this new founded thing. I blame Melissa Marr actually for the whole thing. She has short stories for the Wicked Lovely series that I really wanted to read. So I downloaded the kindle application for my phone. The problem with this though is I am a semi fast reader so I felt like I spent more time touching my phone to flip the page then actually reading. So yes, I ended up getting a kindle. Which I do love. I will not stop buying books as I love going to used book stores and finding new reads. The whole purpose of this little story is that if you do have a kindle, Amazon has a great thing of 100 books for $3.99 or less. They change it every month so this is your friendly reminder to have a look at it. 
Well that is all. I will have a new review of a short story by Melissa Marr just because it seem apropos with this. Amazon's deals
