'It's my world, and I don’t want any other.'
"It will be a while before all the dust from the new e-reader revolution settles, and the final settling may not come in my lifetime. Meanwhile, I'm watching the dust storm with interest and sticking with my old-fashioned books. As the Water Rat said of his old riverbank: 'It's my world, and I don’t want any other.' "
--Pamela Grath, owner of Dog Ears Books, Northport, Mich., on her Books in Northport blog
