Werewolf Skin was a book that changed my life because it was the book that got me reading on my own and for fun. Every kid needs to have a book like this in their life because it gets them to realize how much fun reading can be and it makes school life a lot easier.

I hear a lot of people stating that the look, feel, and smell of the paper and book are sacred and irreplaceable. I disagree. However, what does bother me is the effect e readers will have on local used bookstores. The point of this post is to make people aware of the tangible issues related to e readers rather than just the issues of tangibility of the books e readers are replacing.
