Heya Linda, I’m a book person myself, kindles just don’t float my boat, I feel like it cheapens the story I’m reading if that makes sense cheers David

Yes, agree with Kai. This is excellent David. Looking forward to the follow up when the Recycling Centres of this world become overwhelmed with used and out of date Kindles..books will make a comeback I'm sure. That's my dream anyway. I think books have had a resurgence of sorts during lockdown. Cheers - Gary

Indeed Gary, the kindle graveyard, or scrap heap sounds good, maybe we’re just old school, books have made a comeback, but I think the heady days are gone, glad you enjoyed my piece of satire, cheers David
