I don’t care how good an iPad is it won’t replace a book or library. I know the new device can rapidly turn pages in a book but still it is not the same.
There is nothing like having a library and quickly glancing at your shelves, pulling out just the book you want and opening it up to any page.
I like physically handling my books, touching them. I am not dependent on any batteries. I am not so quick to run out and get this latest technological gadget from Apple.
The brain can not be replaced by this latest development. The brain has the ability to review thousands of paragraphs you have read and know what book a passage came from and then find it.
There is nothing like an old book store to browse in. None of these things can be replaced by the iPad. By now, you get the idea I am skeptical of the value of this item.
I don’t want to pore over an instruction manual just to figure out how pick up a book and scan it. Or even turn it on. It is just too hard. Call me old fashioned.
