I was a Nook user for a while, but they just don&#8217;t have the selection of old out-of-print, out-of-copyright stuff that Amazon has.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;  <br \/><strong>Would you rather books were made into TV shows or movies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TV shows, since I don&#8217;t really watch TV. The movies that have impressed me recently were either written for the screen, or they changed the book&#8217;s story a lot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;  <br \/><strong>Would you rather read only 5 pages per day or 5 books per week?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Five pages a day, if they&#8217;re good. Who has time to read five books a week?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;  <br \/><strong>Would you rather be a professional author or reviewer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Author.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;  <br \/><strong>Would you rather be a librarian or a bookseller?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh, librarian. I was raised by librarians.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;  <br \/><strong>Would you rather read only your favorite genre, or every other genre but your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If I have a favorite genre I guess it&#8217;s mysteries, since that&#8217;s what I write, so my preference would be to read everything else but mysteries. I already know about mysteries (and I never read contemporary ones anyway), and it&#8217;s the stuff that you bring in from outside that makes a genre vital and interesting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;  <br \/><strong>Would you rather only read ebooks or physical books?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ebooks. The convenience factor, and the ease of getting titles that are old and\/or obscure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/u-town.com\/collins\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5485&#038;print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/u-town.com\/collins\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/u-town.com\/collins\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5485&#038;print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/u-town.com\/collins\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got this idea from Maggie over at Maggie Madly Writing.
