In response to: The late John Updike railed against digitization of books. Does the Kindle et al threaten the intimacy, sacredness of reading?

I like the Kindle for books — it is the morning newspaper I can’t give up with my coffee. But the Kindle and the Sony book will win until something even more amazing comes along.

I am going through withdrawal pangs because I don’t have my morning paper to read with my coffee. The paper no longer delivers to our area, and I’m trying to adjust to reading online, but it’s just not the same. I will adjust, even though I’m 78 years old, retired and I like my creature comforts.

You can read the daily newspaper and the crossword puzzle on-line, but for some reason, it is more cozier experience to have a paper and the ability to work the crossword puzzle in hand, sipping my tea. And I am 46, by the way.
