Yes, e-books are another for me.  I cannot read them.  I need an actual book in my hands.

For twenty-five years a band of total lunatics have been uploading books and files related to World War II to the Hyperwar site. The project has gotten so large nobody know everything that's online there. The volume is in terabytes. All of it "e-books". The material is mostly stuff that you would find if you were a hard-core stack mole and had access to collections that were not believed to exist any more. In the process I've ripped countless actual books apart to feed them to scanners. 

So be careful of your fingers and apologies in advance.  Tongue
