My daughter is reading the same children's books that me, my siblings and my cousins read. Some of those books are over forty years old (obviously purchased many years before the birth of all my twenty-nine year old family members). The bindings are starting to give way to age but those books have been under the ungentle care of countless toddlers and children in the last half century. On the other hand, how do you know your kindle collection won't go the way of your eight track collection, cassette tape collection, and now CD collection? When I chose books for my daughter's birthday gift this year I chose hardcover books to last through her childhood and perhaps that of her children.Melanie Aquinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169790075554964420.post-87892222388950365112009-09-18T11:14:38.021-04:002009-09-18T11:14:38.021-04:00How many Kindles and similar digital book readers ...How many Kindles and similar digital book readers will end up in our landfills, when newer version come out.
