I do like how a book feels. And I like flipping back pages if I forgot something, I like thumbing through in the library to see if it's something I'll like, and I like marking my page and seeing how much is left.
A reader is a possibility at some point, but I still like actual books

Dewalt is really popular Craftsman are good also. Get a minimum 19.2 volt for running some of the other tools. Many times you can buy a bundle, for a little more than a single item. Drill, Skill saw and a couple of battery paks and a charger all in one container. Also try handling the equipment at the store to see if it is a comfortable fit in your hand. That maybe a main factor on the one you like the best. Can't really go wrong w/ any of the major brands.
I hear ya. I still get the newspaper because of some of those same reasons. And I do miss bookstore browsing.
I know I'm not in the market but Tinder seems so convenient that it is weird. Can't people meet the old-fashioned way, by getting drunk in a bar?
My wife and I are adamantly the same way, but she's been traveling recently and realized that e-books are great when traveling.
On our vacation this summer we stopped a the Little Bighorn National Battlefield (which was awesome) and it made me realize I'd forgotten most everything I learned reading Nathaniel Philbrick's fabulous book The Last Stand. So my wife downloaded a copy and I read most of it on our vacation, but then we got home just as I got to the battle parts, so I pulled out the paper copy and had it open to the detailed map of the battlefield while reading on the ebook.
For basic, minor household stuff, a good 12v cordless drill/driver will be fine. Any more, and you want an 18v or a corded drill and a corded driver. Dewalt, Milwaukee, Mikita.
I have a 12v Milwaukee which is great for basic household things, light and small. For any more serious projects, I'll add a corded adjustable clutch screwdriver and corded drill (eventually want to finish part of the basement and refurb the deck).
Meh, times, they are a changin'. Way more people don't go to a bar than those that do.
I love the feeling of books. I try to read about a book every week or two and with all this traveling, I might have to make the leap to a Kindle. I was going to buy one when they had that summer amazon prime day/black friday in the summer thing. But I was on the waiting list and never got it. I can make the jump for $40 but $80 is kinda steep.
