Thank You for Not Oversharing
Nov. 17th, 2011 05:17 pmDear World At Large,
Why yes, I do own an e-reader. And yes, I am reading it in public. If you have never seen one before and are genuinely curious, I won't mind giving you a little demo of how it works. I am, after all, a librarian, and anything that encourages people to read is okay by me.
However, please do not misinterpret seeing me reading my Nook in public as an invitation to share with me in great and extraordinary detail your personal philosophy on paper books vs. e-books and how you wouldn't be caught dead reading on an e-reader. I am not recruiting anyone into a secret cult of e-book aficionados, I am not selling anything, and I did not buy this e-reader for you. You are more than welcome to your opinion, but you don't see me barging up to your table to tell you how I wouldn't be caught dead drinking Diet Coke, do you?
I knew you'd understand. Now go away; I'm trying to read.
No love,
Sandy (no, the other one)
