With the Kindle (and other readers) you can have hundreds (thousands?) of books on your device!

Yes, I can be a Luddite, but the Kindle is where I am not. Now, if we want to talk about prices for books on Kindle, then that is another issue entirely. Some publishers charge entirely too much for a Kindle book especially when you can get a used paperback version of the same book for sometimes literally pennies.

There is nothing like a home library!

Good point! Reading any historical work that includes maps makes the book much more memorable and captivating!
