I had no problem transitioning to the big Kindle. The only thing I don't like about it is that it hurts more when I fall asleep reading and it hits my nose.

Absolutely! I need the physical book in my hands, there is no way I'll ever buy a Kindle or some such thing unless (God forbid) bookstores close.

And the beauty of it is that you don't have to choose one or the other! I have (and love) a Kindle. It is perfect for days when I'm running errands where there will be waits. You can read it in waiting rooms, standing in lines, etc. Of course, you can a "real" book too but having the Kindle in my bag is like having my own library in there at all times. I can't carry 25 books in my purse but one Kindle fits so nicely.
When I am at home, I much prefer a physical (real) book. I am a librarian and a voracious reader. Master and I own so many books it's obscene and we're constantly buying more. I LOVE books. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy my Kindle too. They don't take away your library card or bookstore privileges when you buy one

Please don't. I enjoy reading in a multitude of formats. The Kindle (and other e-readers) are enhancements - supplements - not replacements. It's OK...........luci
