Clearly, you haven't tried a Kindle, else you would know that the screen doesn't glow.  I never thought it would replace the worn paperback that slips easily into a pocketbook or backpack. Boy, was I wrong. You keep all the old, musty books around for the smell (I do get that, it reminds me of my grandparents summer house), but reading gets elevated on a Kindle. I'll show you mine someday.  Unfortunately, I can't make it to Book Smart Tulsa and am already part of a book club that just finished a stint on vampires and are now reading a novel about Victorian teenage girls who tangle with the occult :-)
