“Sure—and any bright young inventor can get a job with them. And then he‘s a kept man—the inventions belong to the corporation, and only those that fit into the pattern of the powers-that-be ever see the light. The rest are shelved.

My first ereader is still going strong... I might switch back for longer than just that book (loving the instant opening of books and the metal casing, plus that cover was hand made by a friend)
That's why I keep going back to reading Heinlein even with his backward view on women... Because I started by reading stranger in a strange land and his way of defining mariage and found family is not conventional and strangely aligned to mine.
My current ereader (à pocketbook touch lux, 6 or 7 years old) is taking ages to open the tagged epub, so I'm trying to revive my older Sony ereader, while reading on my husband Kobo...
I don't want to buy another reader but that lagging for big books is inconvenient and the firmware has not had an update since 2014... It's mostly a good ereader just not today.
Planning my summer reading by uploading books on the tablet... But that not taking into account paper books or reticence by Gail Carriger which will be out in August and a priority read ;)
