The edge of Ideas. The edge of Connections. The edge of the Unknown. And... in 2020... reading my way (again) through a hefty list of World-Changing books.

E-Readers
I know I've written about this before but... things always change so... I've been reading up on e-book readers and for us here in Canada, the two best options at this point seem to be the Chapters/Indigo Kobo E-book reader or the Amazon Kindle E-book reader. Both have wireless capability. And the Kindle just broke into the Canadian market this past summer. So... what to do??? E-books cost about $10 on average... So they aren't all that much cheaper than a real book... But, E-books are a lot lighter to pack around. When I think of all the books I've bought and packed and lugged around in my lifetime... Well, there is something really comforting to think that this e-book reader could hold them all... Mind you... if I lost them!! Or lost the e-book reader!!! But, Kindle has thought of that and you have a backup storage space on their website where all your books sit and wait for you in case something goes horribly awry. And both the Kobo ($149) and the Kindle 3G ($189) are quite reasonably priced... What to do... what to do...
