Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for June 08, 2019

Equal rights for Kindles! Every Nook and Granny! Paper AND Plastic! #litermature

… and STOP asking Alexa its opinion of the book.

Is “The Cult of Information” available in eBook format?

Tell it, sister! Testify!

Watch out for the litterature. It can really stink.

Watch it, Maude…you’re getting closer to the audibles…

Ironically, I’m reading this on a tablet.

When I’m reading any given book, I’d rather it be on paper. But the ability to carry a small library with me is not to be sneezed at.

Funny name for a book club.

Ironic – the name of the lady holding the Kindle is Page Turner!

i have been reading for close to 60 years now……have had a Kindle for 12 or 13 and i absolutely love it

…and if you mention that Kindle again, I’m going to throw the book at you.

I do not love books for themselves. I like to have certain books about me to refer to but only because of the text. I have never collected books for their physical selves. I have never asked for nor wanted an autographed book.

— John Steinbeck, “Some Random and Randy Thoughts on Books” (essay)

[ Coincidentally, I could swiftly retrieve this recollected quote verbatim precisely because I own its anthological source, America and Americans, as an ebook. I’d like to think Steinbeck himself would be a Kindle enthusiast.]

If it’s a cook book club, run for your life!

Why should a “book” be defined as something on paper? A book is the author’s ideas, characters and plot and it doesn’t matter what format it’s in.

Book em Dano.

I prefer a real book myself.

Ridiculously judgmental. A book is not the format, it’s the content.

What a potty mouth

You go girl.

Can’t we just all watch the movie or are we going to argue about how to do that?

Watch you mouth, Grandma!!!

Why does it matter what someone reads a book on just so they’re reading? I would never discourage reading at all. It’s a PITA but I used to try to read books via PDF years ago before I was gifted a Kindle. I had the app on my phone but I had a crappy phone so I started reading some books on my laptop via PDF. It’s tough so I eventually stopped but hey, at least I was reading! Now I have a Kindle Fire and I read every day and I also listen to books on Audible so on a daily basis I’m going back and forth between 2 books.

Spunky gal – I like her!

I like audiobooks… I even “read” one for a church book club once.

Some people that age (I include myself) need the bigger print that’s available on an e-reader. I mostly read on my laptop, but for trips, it’s a kindle.
