No eBook will ever be an heirloom...I just cannot believe that,<br />I have a copy of all my prints, and my husband buys his own copies and has me to autograph them. That's very sweet...but he cares nothing about my eBooks. He would, though, if they were in print. He says--I'll read everything you write if it's in print. I take that back. He did read one ebook, and said, "while I like it as the others, there was something missing not holding the book."<br />CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-15041441172994047892011-04-30T10:57:30.804-05:002011-04-30T10:57:30.804-05:00Strange that you bringing this about in your blog....Strange that you bringing this about in your blog. Last night my daughter told me that she still has six copies of my first book tO LOVE A HERO. 'I'm keeping them for when your grandchildren are old enough to read them, and I hope they will keep them for their children.' I won't be around but it was sweet to know she wants to keep copies of my books as heirloom. When my Mom moved from her house, I made sure I sent packages of my father's books to each of his grandchildren, nephews and nieces.<br /><br />My first two books are out of print but I'm glad I have three copies of each to keep for myself. They are now very precious to me. <br /><br />My ebooks are here but can they become heirloom?Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-11640194328738044882011-04-30T10:33:35.655-05:002011-04-30T10:33:35.655-05:00LIAN--I do understand I don't even know why I&...LIAN--I do understand I don't even know why I'm thinking 75 years ahead!

I bet you drove your parents crazy trying to keep up with your thoughts.<br />Your idea sounds as plausible as anything else, but, geesh, I do not want to think of that. <br />Did you see the guy who had a camera surgically implanted in the back of his head so he could have "eyes in the back of his head." He must have had a reason, but probably he was just testing a theory. Too bad his body rejected the camera and he had to have it removed.

No, I haven't seen 2012, nor did I know what the plot was. I'll Google it and find out. Sounds good!<br />I took my Kindle on a recent road trip, like you. It was nice not to find room for three or four paperbacks. Even though I still read them.

I suppose this will be an evolving thing, where books go and in what form.<br />I abhor someone telling me "the young generation" now will not read print books. That's simply not true...maybe in two more genrations they might not...but they still read plenty of books off a shelf. <br />Thank you for you thoughtful response...CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-43833247130509285882011-04-27T23:38:12.997-05:002011-04-27T23:38:12.997-05:00Hi Celia:

I think we will each have ‘chips’ in our head and every book ever written will be available to be ‘read’ in the ‘theater of our mind’ on simple demand. Every human will become a universal library for all mankind. The ‘collective unconscious mind’ will be a reality. And paranormal romances will just be called contemporaries. <br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-25150111326320821432011-04-27T20:49:43.541-05:002011-04-27T20:49:43.541-05:00Good question - have you seen the movie 2012?

I like both e-books and print. Print for reading a quick chapter and e-books for vacation. Nothing like loading up my e-book and heading out.P.L.

I wonder if...It's a very interesting question. I wonder if the computer gurus at Amazon have even given it a thought. If used book houses like Alibris and other similar used book outlets can make money on used books, my imagination tells me that there just might be a repository for used e-books in the near future. If there is a buck to be made then some enterprising person will find a way to make it happen. Of course, the current intellectual property rights laws may have to be adjusted.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175476200392654005noreply@blogger.com
