While we're having all these debates about how the book is being destroyed by the Kindle, we have to remember that narrative will not be affected at all because it's part of our makeup as a creature on this planet.

I read one chapter of a book and put it down. Thank God for Kindle.

If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it.

I don't own a Kindle, no. I love books, they are beautiful objects.

Trees are Earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
