re: #38 Last Mohican

That has been my main reason for not buying one. When I buy a real paper book, it’s mine to keep forever. But when I buy any kind of file, including a Kindle book, I can only use it while I continue to have software and hardware that can read it. And I’d be at Amazon’s mercy — whenever they wanted, they could force me to pay them more money, or I’d never see my books again.

I still buy “real” copies of books I know I’ll want to keep. But for those books that I know I don’t necessarily want to have forever - kindle is the way to go.
