I am right there with you, Alan. I bought a Kindle in November, and other than what I assigned my students, I did not read paper, printed books again until May. I enjoyed the feel of the Kindle in my hands (still do). I enjoyed the clicking back and forth to various pages (still do). I enjoyed clipping articles, highlighting text and annotating it (still do). But since May, I haven’t bought any ebooks, just paper books. I’m swinging back the other way. I still enjoy my Kindle and read on it every few days, but more and more, you’ll see me with a paper book in my hands. I think it’s more of a hybrid of reading that bibliophiles like us will end up doing, and that’s okay.
