If you don't have a PHYSICAL copy, you don't own it!

From the post:

>Amazon recently changed the wording on their website when it comes to buying Kindle ebooks. As the screenshot above shows, they now have a disclaimer under the buy now button that says, “By placing your order, you’re purchasing a license to the content and you agree to the Kindle Store Terms of Use”. It also says that same thing when shopping for Kindle ebooks directly from the store on Kindle ereaders and Kindle apps. The funny thing is they only appear to be doing that in the US. I checked Amazon UK and Amazon CA and both show the old disclaimer that just says, “By clicking the above button, you agree to the Kindle Store Terms of Use”.

Wherever I live next, I am going to need a proper library. If I have the time and money to build one that is. Wouldn't that be amazing?

The kind people imagine, large, elegant, with lots of natural light coming in, and a large fireplace with comfy chairs in front of it, and plants scattered about.

Oh yeah, 100% that is exactly what I had in mind. You can almost smell what that room would be like. The quiet, the old wood, high bookshelves.

I can definitely smell it, that thick hard wood, all securely, and deliberately placed, not a single creak in that room, and all shelves are very strong, none of them buckle under the weight of the books.
