Tying Books on a Kindle

[tomk6251]

Can I please borrow a few of your books?

Can I borrow a few of your flies? This way I can send them to Andy for the swap...

I am surprised that no one brought this up....

The software for the Kindle...

Where do you think it will be at in say 3 - 5 - 8 years from now?

Remember 3.1 ? or how about the 5.5 inch floppy discs?

So what ever book you buy now for a Kindle or any other type of electronic book will be gone in a few years time.

The book.... or magazine...


You will still have it in your hands 20 years from now.

Unless you let someone BORROW it and DOESN'T RETURN YOUR PROPERTY.

Anyway....

The book it the only way to go if you want to keep it.

With a book you will always have it.

Unless you LOAN it out to someone and never see it again.

Or your house catches fire.

Or you loan it out.

Or your sprinkler system in the house goes off and soaks it.

Or you loan it out to a friend.

Or you spill your bottle of head cement on it and welds it together.

Or you loan it out.

Or the book developes a bad case of mold.

Or you loan it out to a friend.

OR YOU LOAN IT OUT TO A FRIEND AND NEVER SEE IT EVER AGAIN.

Ak -- I would like to Borrow every book you have -- You know my address so send them to me ASAP -- I will be impatiently waiting for your books -- so send them NOW Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace
Dan

Speaking of books -- I have a First Edition Autographed by Art Flick -- "Art Flicks NEW Streamside Guide" Great book for anyone wanting to learn about Flies although it is dated -- It was for many many years the "BIBLE" on May Flies. Thats when Swisher and Richards took it a step further in Selective Trout and tried to go Deeper than Art did. To this day those books are a wealth of knowledge (See Below)

You know, when you take a quick (or even not so quick) look at the 2nd book, it looks like Art wants to do something else - streamside. With wings.

How true this statement is -- Man could you imagine spending all that money on those books and your Kindle Software gets outdated or your kindle Crashes and cant be recovered -- Thats a scary thing

I believe the ebooks are here to stay for a while. I just hope they will come up with some standardized version of the format soon so once you purchase an ebook you can download it on all your electronic devices - the Kindle, iPad or your computer.
I agree with Andy B. where I use books and youtube at home and my iPad or iPhone while camping/vacation or business trips. It's just so much "lighter" to pack a single device which I'll have with me anyway than couple books. Plus once you go fishing to a new place away from home soon you'll realize that the flies are different here and you don't have them in your books - youtube will be your best friend here.

AK made a good point about electronic devices getting outdated, but hidden in his post was another point.

If someone "borrows" a book, you're short one book.
If someone borrows your Kindle, you lost ALL your books.
