Thank you, Tea! I'm excited to be here! I've been told I should get a Kindle, but I just love to have the actual hardcopy in my hands, you know? I thought maybe I'd get a Kindle for at least all the classics I only intend to read once. It isn't entirely out of the question. :)

If you use the kindle app, then all the books will be on your kindle when you buy one.

I did get the Kindle app since some short stories I was dying to read were eBook only, and it has helped nudge me toward liking the whole Kindle thing. It is a handy idea for sure!
