The NY Times recently featured an article entitled Gadgets You Should Get Rid Of (or Not) that discussed some interesting takes on what electronic items you should keep and what you can toss or replace with a satisfactory alternative. Most interestingly, print books were an item to keep though they are not an electronic item. In the article, Sam Grobart explains that “Yes, e-readers are amazing, and yes, they will probably become a more dominant reading platform over time, but consider this about a book: It has a terrific, high-resolution display. It is pretty durable; you could get it a little wet and all would not be lost. It has tremendous battery life. It is often inexpensive enough that, if you misplaced it, you would not be too upset. You can even borrow them free at sites called libraries.” Grobart states that cookbooks are an exception to this, as cookbook apps for smart phones can include many more pictures than most print cookbooks, have the ability to include embedded videos, and are more portable.
