Borrowing from the Library Without Leaving My Chair

I got an Amazon Kindle this week, and took advantage of the ability to borrow from the Anne Arundel County Public Library System.

I suppose it was only a matter of time. Since I spend my days editing an online-only news outlet, it was only natural that I'd eventually also ditch traditional books in favor of an e-reader.  This week, I became the proud owner of an Amazon Kindle. I had some gift money left over from Christmas, so figured it'd be a good time to give the gadget a try. I got the $69 bare-boned version. I like to read, but have always had affection for physical books. I grew up on them in shelves in my home. I like to browse bookstores in search of treasures. I enjoy taking books out of the library and also like grabbing used books for super-cheap. Would the Kindle take away from that whole experience? I was reluctant, but could definitely see the advantage…
