Insights Into Cultural Understanding

With the release of the “Kindle” comes a different way to think about resource preservation. I first thought of this as another PC device, but it is not that at all. It is a book, many books. It’s your library. Unlike a PC there is no printer! No paper. Unlike a physical book, there is no storage, no trees, there is no shipping, etc.

In most homes, books take up a ton of space. They are nice to look at on the book shelves but collect dust. There are books that we say we will read again and will, if only we could remember their exact location. They are sometimes heavy and we book mark them with important papers (laundry tickets, parking tickets, deposit slips and boarding passes) that we need and later wish we knew where they were.
