Carl Sagan loved books. Not so surprising when you think about it. When I hear about eBooks replacing regular books, it makes me sad. It makes me worry about booksellers, libraries, bookstores. How could something so irrevocably part of mankind be obsolete? Truthfully, I don't think we will ever completely be without them. But although I don't own an electronic device for reading, I choose to embrace them. I expect at some point I will own one. I do love technology and when I am published, I expect I will love selling eBooks as well as paper ones.
There is something that says to me, books are like classical music, like long afternoons swinging in a hammock, like sitting on the porch to watch the last rays of sunlight at dusk, a glass of wine in candlelight, those starry universes that Carl Sagan imagined. Some things should never be given up.
