B.J., I bet you like Ebook. :) I have already done this but to your question-
Neither
oh, and I want to add Autumn all the way but it would have to be Autumn here in Illinois. The weather is great here in Autumn. (usually)

It isn't so much that I like ebooks as it is that I live in Turkey and it is practically impossible to get many good English language books here in hardcopy.

I understand, I was just joking. Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I think what your doing is great.

No worries. I'm not upset. Maybe a little sad when remembering the 1000+ book library I had to give away to hop on that plane way back when. I am a bit hesitant now to start rebuilding for that reason.
