    What, you don’t need to charge it up either? How long will the battery last?

    The kid must attend a really poor school if they can’t afford to give him an e-reader.

    Find the Asimov short story “The Holms-ginsbook Device” and read it. To make it extra ironic, read it on your electronic device.

    No plugin, but it’s still swipe left, swipe right, quick boot up time…though for the page zoom function, I’d have to go to Kryten of Red Dwarf, the episode DNA, what he said when he’s made human for an episode

    Reminds me of the cartoon I’d received awhile back where the kids are looking at a photo of an old desktop rotary phone. What is it? they’re asking !!!

    Saw a real howler of a Facebook short film. Three teenagers trying to use a rotary phone. They knew it was a phone, and most were pretty sure you had to move the dial in a circular motion (although a couple weren’t sure it went all the way around, but couldn’t figure out that you had to remove the handset First, before dialing!

    For what it’s worth, my 20-something kids read paper books. Moreover, research shows that it’s the middle-aged folks who use ebooks the most.
