With apologies to William C

With apologies to William Caxton, our boats namesake; we have decided to fore go the printed page for one of those newfangled e-readers, well two readers actually.   I feel a bit shamefaced about this because when these contraptions were first being banded about I was secretly quite scathing; what's wrong with books for goodness sake I thought . Why would you want to spend money on eeee-readers when books were so readily available and so, so, tactile, colourful and reeeadable?  Well this last weekend we came face to face with a KINDLE e-reader.  We played with it , we pressed buttons , we changed font sizes, we downloaded the daily newspaper, we checked the cost of e-books and the size of the available e-book library and we looked at the space that books take up on Caxton.  Suddenly my poor opinion of this technology was looking a bit silly.  After several days umming and arring we have decided to do the deed and go techie, tomorrow we are off to a store in Brum to wave the plastic and buy a couple of Kindles - sorry William.....
