About a year and a half ago, my sister and her family bought me an e-book reader for my birthday: I don't recall if it was Kindle or what. Unfortunately, they hadn't gotten my input on the topic. Then, at dinner, before I opened my presents, the subject of e-books came up, and I made it very clear that I didn't care for the idea. I didn't notice the mortified silence on their part. The mortified silence on my part came when I opened the gift and discovered they'd given me what I'd just been verbally trashing.
Luckily, they'd saved the receipt.
If I were still in the Army, I might go for e-books as a way to travel light -- although a lot of what I like to read is obscure enough these days that it's unlikely to be available in e-form (that was one of my main reasons for disliking the notion). But then again, with reports like this, maybe I wouldn't.

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
