e Readers

Those of you who know me well, know I got a kindle ASAP when they first came out, I've had 3 so far, but one of those I gave away.  My latest is the Kindle Fire.  I like the reader, it does all as advertised, but and this is a big BUT, I don't like the way Amazon has changed because of the marketing of the Kindles.

I shop for books, give books for every occasion and love to read reviews about books.  I even read books about books.  I read mysteries mostly, but will and do read many genres.  I still like to read books, real hold in your hand and turn a page books, real go to the back cover or inside cover and re read the jackets, use the cover to mark your place books, you get the idea.

What I am getting at is when you go to Amazon now what you get under books, mystery (or any other subject) are kindle books.  I don't know why they have kindle books under regular books when they have a section for both.  I wish they would keep them separate.   Their book section is a mess.  I want to take real books with me on vacation.  I want to read a real book in the winter.  I want to be able to turn a page forward and backward without having to figure out how to get back to where I was.

I like to pack up my already read books and give them away or take them to the library.  I like books, ebooks are okay, but books can't be replaced.
