I love e-books. Now, I love books that I put on my book shelves
also. I have a lot of them. In fact, I have so many that most of
them are packed away in plastic totes in my storage space, because
I don’t have room for all of them in the house. I wish I did, but I
don’t.

I haven’t bought a paperback or hardback book in about 7 years,
and I haven’t read one of either in 5 years or so. The reason is
two fold. First, my kindle is a lot easier to hold and read in bed
and I don’t need to keep the light on if my wife is already asleep,
just to read. The 2nd thing is my reading habit and convenience.
When I get in a mood to read, it will just occur to me one evening,
hey, I want to read something. So I’ll go surf Amazon, find a book,
and 2 minutes later I am happily reading it. I never plan that I’m
going to read something and then go to a book store and buy that
book so that I can read it. It doesn’t work that way for me.

Saying that Amazon is evil for whatever their business strategy
is, is just lazy and stupid thinking. They’re just a business, with
the goal of making money, like every other business, and I really
appreciate a lot of what they offer. I buy a lot of stuff from
them. Not everything, but when they can offer me the best variety,
price, and convenience, then why go elsewhere?

The only time a business is evil is when the government gets
involved via cronyism.
