You’ve said what I feel as a booklover—no better gift than a book, except a gift certificate for the recipient to choose their own book.

To each his own, as the saying goes. That’s why my most of my books and most of my clients’ books are available in both print and electronic formats.

For those of us with arthritic hands, the weight and feel of print books (especially hardbacks) can be painful. For those of us with vision problems, the relatively tiny print in paper books can mean we can’t even decipher what’s on the page. For some of us, e-books are a blessing that allow us to read when we couldn’t otherwise do it. There are few print books I can read, but I can read anything I want on my e-book reader.

I won’t make fun of you for smelling books if you don’t make fun of me for scoffing at print books.

You’re right. I’ll bet you discover some authors you haven’t heard of with books you’d like to read.
