[Sailor Steve]

I have a handful of books I've downloaded. They are on my computer for me to read at my leisure, though I will probably never get to them.

I have a monster book collection that I mostly picked up when I worked at the book distributor's warehouse, which is now more than twenty years ago. I'll never read most of them either, which is okay because most of them are junk which we got for free and looked interesting at the time. The better ones are being given to the main city library.

I also have a lot of books I've purchased and hope I have time to read them while I'm still here. Unfortunately most of my reading over the last five years have been historical and technical references. Useful but not as enjoyable as some of the classics I've bought.

My dad praised the wonders of Kindle to me. I replied with a short list of the real books I had waiting for me to read.

I've never bought anything at the Microsoft Store and never will.
