Very true .. I suppose it is a bit of a switch for me because I haven't adopted other comparable devices - I don't own an MP3 player or digital camera (other than the ones on my cell phone which I cannot get to work). Obviously I use a computer but I find when I write longhand I use a fountain pen and nice paper. I don't see me giving up on reall books - I have too many nice ones but I will be able to declutter a bit! I think the real joy will be the obscure stuff I now have access to.

I still find my hand automatically going to the top corner at the end of the page!
