Hello, one and all! I would like to start out by saying that I would like to be put into the drawing for the down town gift certificate. If you have read my blog in the past (most notably my post from June entitled Free e-Books and the Destruction of the Future) you will no doubt understand my reasons for not particularly wanting a Sony e-reader.Note the awesome books shown on the left (Penguin Classics is publishing these amazing linen hardbacks--I want them all). How could you not prefer real books to e-Books when real books are so wonderful? In addition to reading real books, you can actually place them on a bookshelf and bask in their stately beauty and excellence. You cannot do that with e-Books. These fabulous hardbacks are one of the reasons I have no interest whatsoever in an e-reader and wish to be placed in the drawing for the gift certificate. Not that it really matters--I never win drawings anyway.
