I have indeed bought a Kindle. I can't quite say I've gone to the dark side entirely though, as I bought it for ease in researching. (Am I making excuses?? Ahem. Cough cough.) So often I am researching away and MUST HAVE a certain book yesterday. With the press of a button and about eight bucks, it's on my Kindle. But, to save your dino-heart from breaking entirely, please believe me when I say that I still relish the feel of a book, the smell of its pages, and old fashioned book marks festooned with ribbons and pressed flowers. I'm still old fashioned in that regard. No electronic gadget will ever, truly suffice. My condolences to your dinosaur heart. I have indeed bought a Kindle.

So sorry about the computer woes, but I really feel your pain. Sometimes I feel so luddite-ish -- I love my computer but I hate all the "stuff" that comes with it. And don't even get me started on Twitter, et al. But please, please tell me you haven't gone to the dark side and gotten a Kindle. That just might break my dinosaur heart.
