Furthermore, Kindles, iPads, etc. literally never have the books I want to read, and I have issues with my eyes that makes looking at electronic devices and being in lit rooms strenuous. When I can afford to I'll be wearing prescription sunglasses during almost all waking hours.

Books 4 Life. Some things technology can't replace.
I used to think that way too. But when I got my Kindle I completely fell in love.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
Thanks for this!
