The urge to turn

Posted on January 12, 2011 | Comments Off on The urge to turn

I love my Kindle 2. I bought well over a hundred books for it in 2010 and continue to buy them, usually from Amazon and always after reading the free sample.

But, sometimes, reading from the screen, instead of reaching out for the button that shifts the screen to the next page, I get an urge to turn the nonexistent paper page with my fingers. It’s fleeting. I smile and move on. And I’m not the only one.

    Ho ho. With me is the opposite: when I read a paper book, which is rarely later, I tend to press the lower part of the page to move to the next one 😉

    Haven’t done that. But, then, I haven’t read a paperbook in, oh, at least six months.
