looks like an interesting concept. How cold does the coffee have to be before it is considered cold?

Just finished reading and listening to The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. Very good novel. I was listening to the audiobook when I was outside and reading when I was inside. Tom Hanks performed the audiobook which was excellent as you might imagine.

This site is pretty awesome. Super affordable. I found one title that I couldn't find anywhere else and another for $10 that was $50-$150 everywhere else.

I only buy paper when electronic versions are not available. Which happens sometimes.

I will only buy a paper book if I'm going on a beach vacation. Mostly read on a Kindle but like you folks ever heard of libraries?

Buying paper is a last resort for me, for sure. But it's sometimes necessary once you've achieved S tier book reading status.

I mean I've read more than one book on it but you do make a fair point. Don't forget the data farms! Life cycle analyses are tricky
