My main attraction to a Kindle is only
age-related. If my vision deteriorates enough that I need to make
the type bigger, then I could see that it’s just a wonderful tool
to have. But so long as I can enjoy the books that I have, the
physical books, I’ll stick with them. I have nothing against them
[eReaders]. I believe that what fundamentally matters is stories,
poems—people need them. The means that we access them isn’t crucial
at all.
