Thing #20: Book 2.0

First off I have to ask, Who reads books on their phones? I mean even on a blackberry it seems like it would be super irritating and headache inducing.

So honestly, the #1 thing I have observed about books and reading in the library is that I seem to check out more dvd's then books to patrons each day. I mean, why read it when you can watch the condensed version of it? Although I will admit to favoring the movie version of "The Outsiders" over the book. Stay gold ponyboy...stay gold.

Yeah, anyways...
I have noticed the popularity of e-books gaining as more and more people upgrade their computers and purchase MP3 players. I for one do not like listening to audio books, besides it's better for everyone if my attention is focused solely on my driving rather than the latest James Patterson novel. I like the idea of a kindle but having never actually used or seen one in person, I guess I can't really make a comment on it's usefulness.

As for the rest of the things on this never ending list, I'm sure quite a few of them are wonderful and useful tools...if you have the time. Which right now I don't, there's a ton of DVD's that need checking out.....
