Cool Stuff - For You Old-School Book Readers



The Thumb Thing keeps your book open while you read, and also serves as a bookmark.  But does anyone read books anymore?!?

  1. This would really come in handy when I'm reading a book at work.

  2. OK I still read books (have not fallen victim to the Kindle yet) but I am not sure about this thumb thing (does that sound dirty to you?). Anyway

  3. Shoot, I read about 500 to 700 pages of book a week-I stopped buying them when going thru thirty or forty bucks a week in purchases at Borders wasn't in the budget anymore and frequent the library alot more.

  4. I only read them if they contain lots of pretty pictures!

  5. I do. Real books with pages I can turn and might use that thumb thing for. Lots and lots of books!

    There's a used book place (McKay's) in Nashville that is great. Books are so cheap there, and you can take those back and books, CDs, DVDs, audio books, and games there for store credit or money. Libraries and those shops are helpful financially.

  10. Yes and I love old books too - the look, the smell, the yellow pages - swooooon!
    Ooops, got carried away there...

    You can't get that from Kindle!
    Daughter did get a Kindle for Chrismas. Haven't seen her using it yet so the jury is still out on it. I can see it being handy traveling on a plane - if they will still let you have anything on a plane anymore!

  11. Why do you need that in the first place? Isn't that what the THUMB is for when your reading anyways? seems like one of those damn "as seen on tv" gadgets that serve no real purpose except to take your money from you..

  12. YES! but i mostly read huge hard backs (i'm a size queen even when it comes to books lol), so i'm not sure if "the thumb thing" would be of much use to me. :))

  13. Hell yes! Life would be so diminished without books. I read every day.

  14. Oh, most definitely, although I'm behind on my reading. I don't think I'd need a thumb thing (why does that sound dirty to me?) because I usually use both hands on my book. XOXO

  15. I read so much at work that when I am home I don't want to see a book - give me porn!
