Cheryl-- I hope you buy my book in Kindle, print, and scroll versions. The scrolls will have the very best maps. :) Loren-- It's a flesh wound! Say that to my face! Mark-- I agree with you ten trillion percent (quite high). From now on, you are King Solomon. Kevin– You are such a curmudgeon. And yet, I can’t help but love you.

Why can't we live in a world of digital and print? there are some books you just need to hold in your hands and highlight the mess out of. and there are also times when, whether economically or ergonomically, it's easier to purchase that book digitally. i love my kindle but i still have lots of books and like it that way. good post. it’s good to inject a little humor into the whole “book vs. e-book” fiasco. the fact that books are still dominating digital versions isn’t surprising and will probably remain so. i just can’t figure out why everyone thinks it must be one or the other.

That said, I want all Rabbit Room books to be in *print* form, so I can actually hold them and enjoy the covers in color! I have the Wingfeather books on my Kindle AND in print version...and print is better b/c of maps & illustrations (which might work great on the KDX, but I have the smaller K2). Kindle AND books in print...the best of both worlds! Yes, I like money...and I have much less of it since purchasing my Kindle and becoming addicted to Amazon's 1-click buying feature...

And even then, I might just opt to not read it at all. #2- Yes I do, we get along just fine when we chance to meet. It's not often that happens, but always a fun time. #1- No. I’ve said it once, and am about to say it again…
