Re: It's Not Often I Moan....BUT.

I only ever read 'paper' books, DaveA, I still prefer it, call me old fashioned!

Going back to the issue with the libraries, they've changed so much in recent years, ours is a community hub, that I rarely visit these days. I send Mr C, he knows my taste in books and I can always look online and order something if he comes back empty handed.

I find some excellent books in charity shops or car boot sales but don't recall seeing any audio ones - perhaps they've not made it there yet.

I am so glad I live in England, we don't have those problems here in my local library, we have an entire section devoted to Audio books.

Kindle has replaced paper here, I can stuff it in my bag and take it anywhere, reading in bed so easy I can adjust text size if my eyes are tired.

You are lucky Malcolm ours has more computers than books and audio books are I believe kept in the bigger library in town now as you have to order them.

Re: It's Not Often I Moan....BUT.

Dave I certainly do still read "paper" books ...I wont ever give up reading them...I used to have a tablet with the kindle app on it and would read from there also,but much prefer the feel and smell of a paper book.
I buy quite a few books from carboot sales only if theyre in very good condition though ,I dont want any old dog eared copy thankyou! lol.....The only books I buy from new are Stephen King ones which I have a lot of his and like to read his latest ones as soon as theyre available.

Very true - I love books!

I do like audio books as well and always have some thing playing in the craft room when I am making cards.
