It’s mid-February and your sweetheart needs something to read! I have a few ebooks out, and they’re $4 – $10. Save your money for good food and nice wine! Understandably, some people don’t like reading ebooks, but I like the adjustable font size. Even with prescription readers, my eyes aren’t what they were. Yes, I love the feel of paper too. I’ve culled a lot, but I still keep a few hundred books around the house just so I can smell them.
