I’m going to be honest, I read on my Kobo way more than I read physical books, and I own a floor to ceiling bookshelf in desperate need of weeding. Public library integration through Libby can’t be beat, I love that it has a backlight, and it’s more comfortable to read long novels especially- and no danger of ruining. Don’t get me wrong- I love the tactile feel of paper and the smell of old books, but there’s a lot to be said for convenience. Also- library ebooks don’t accrue late fees, which have been a major source of guilt for me my entire life.

You have to realize that’s not what happened here, right? This was not voluntary, and career ending. That 9.6 mill won’t go as far as you think with lawyers fees, and then the medical bills and likely extensive rehab.

My condolences. I hope you get the rest you need, too.
