I have a tablet and a sizable ebook library, but I'm a physical book, book person...Tactile, tangible. Solid. If anything, I read faster on my tablet because I don't delve quite as deeply into the words like I do with an actual book...3 a.m. Tap, tap...Read. Look at the clock three books later, realising it is 8 a.m.Quote:

I would divorce her, on grounds of mental cruelty, torture, trying poison me-- if ever she thought this acceptable. No... We're only doing this once. I'd rather starve. If I survive...
