Ha. So you bought a book about history that inspired you, quite independently, to do your own historical search. That's awesome.

I love used books. I love the used book store and Amazon Marketplace. For me, there is no way a Kindle/Nook/iPad could ever replace the experience of book shopping and reading. Although I see the utility of those devices, its not just all about the content. Flipping pages is a experiential thing that scrolling is not.
