Readers

From time to time, I think about getting an eReader. I am mildly intrigued. I know one person who is a total fanboy about his -- he even bought shirts with flat pockets big enough to hold his Kindle -- and his enthusiasm makes me think well, maybe. Even though I don't trust Amazon, after hearing a while back of how they 'electronically recalled' books that that been downloaded, I think well, maybe. Even though they look awfully clumsy to me.... still. Maybe.

And then last night, my wife tells me about the kid in my daughter's school who had what we presume was a library electronic copy of Oedipus Rex, with lots of notes that the kid had attached, and when the copy expired....so did the notes.

And I think, ah, maybe not.
