Of course, this is all leading to Farenheit 451.
Maybe this is Farenheit 451 without the 451.
The beginning of the end. REPENT

When I bought Ann Coulter's latest from Amazon, I did buy the Hard Copy, although I may add the e-version. |
Why would anybody read Ann Couter?

For the TRUTH.
She isn't featured at the Institute for Primate Studies, though.

Libraries will be next to go... |
I've found libraries are more useful since I got eReaders. Many libraries (for example in Yuma) have a selection of eBooks that can be borrowed by
members for free, electronically.
When I want another book to read, I can browse the selection (from anywhere that has internet, including Mexico) and immediately download it. After
three weeks, the book expires on the device, no need to take any action to return it, no late fees.
The selection isn't as large as the physical book range, but it's better than nothing when you're not near a library building. The books can be
borrowed on just about any device that does the ePub format (such as an iPad, PC, Mac), the Kindle will be able to borrow books later this year.
So, yes, the library building may start to shrink (already newer libraries are just a room full of computers with some books round the edge), but the
function of lending books out should still be there, and be a lot more convenient.

God I love this group of Nomads! Ann Coulter, obnoxious like toxious!! Book stores & Libraries have a special aura about them. Is that a
Liberal term? I remember being afraid as a kid in a Library cause Noise just emenated from within me; ssshhhh! Book stores are wonderful. Acres
of Books in Long Beach on LB Blvd & 4th?? was huge. I loved getting lost in there and then I/we discovered National Geo and naked Indigenous
women? I am revealing too much. I loved the book stores & Libraries at all
Universities even the ones I didn't attend. Met lots of girls in most of them; never got a Scholarship but it didn't seem important! In Todos
Santos, El Tecolote is a great little Bookstore that gets lots of business. Yes, I'm in Love with the Woman/girl who works there. Smart Phones are
morphing into Sci Fi, verdad?! Bookshelves will n
be passe, tambien. Smiles Tio
