Probably half of the ones that I complete, I end up buying a hard copy as well! I guess I have the feeling that if it's good, I want to get my hands on it and be able to leaf through the pages in the good old fashioned way perusing paragraphs or lines that I particularly liked. It's never convenient or satisfying to go back and do that on the Kindle... <br /><br />BUT I do appreciate that if I highlight something, I can read my highlighted passages online, and even copy them into a blog post if I want. But I find that I tend to highlight a third of the text just so I won't lose it "back there" in the digital "pages."GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012744915676074134.post-91842502900864775812019-09-24T21:27:51.811-07:002019-09-24T21:27:51.811-07:00I went over to goodreads to add The Shallows to my...I went over to goodreads to add The Shallows to my TBR... and found I already have it marked "Want to Read." booklearnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09321337391466393916noreply@blogger.com
