I have an iPad and and E-Reader and enjoy the convenience of going on vacation and having 10 books ready for reading without having to cart them with me.<br />Working for a company that processes cheques for all of Canada's major banks I can say that volumes are dropping steadily but not as quickly as originally anticipated.Jackie McGuinnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946085131678256211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-61833743300045212472011-05-31T15:42:08.207-04:002011-05-31T15:42:08.207-04:00I will ALWAYS prefer a real book to a device.

As long as I...Hmm...I guess privacy is relative. As long as I'm not being chased down the street by paparazzi and photographed by hordes of tourists waiting outside my front door, I consider that I still have my privacy. I think we're better off with security cameras than not as it makes the streets safer. As for books, I'll keep buying them as long as I can. I find that I spend enough time staring at screens as it is, I don't want to have to read my books on one as well!Karinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07462017384530247677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-64234702783753696772011-05-30T10:44:40.297-04:002011-05-30T10:44:40.297-04:00We're losing our post offices as well as our c...We're losing our post offices as well as our cheques, and I'm guilty of downloading books to the gadget.
