Couldn't care less.

I will skim the newspaper when I go my parents and I am always left with the same question "why do you pay for this?"

When I was a kid my parents took the train from Bumblefuck. They would get a paper on the way in to the city and 2 papers on the way home. Trib, SunTimes, and Daily News. Back then the papers were like an inch thick. Evey week there would be like a 20 lb stack to tie up and put out with the trash.

I miss the papers. There was a time in my life that I read 2-3 a day between train rides and slow days on the floor at work. Grew up with the Trib and read the damn thing cover to cover from 12 until 21 when I moved west. I miss the physical paper, it’s just not the same tactile experience when read on a tablet or computer screen. Same goes for kindle books vs bound.

I find that I have a tough time retaining what I read when I read it off a tablet/Kindle. I think it's much easier to skim or zone out with e-readers than with an actual book in my hands.
