Maureen, You have expressed my feelings on CDs perfectly. Plus you can't mark CD pages with stickies. Barbara quillpen1 <quillpen1@optonline.net> wrote: Thanks, Carol. My problem with CDs instead of books is that Cds are so cumbersome. If I want to find someone/something in a book I go to the Index then to the pp indicated by just turning pages. With a CD it becomes a major production just to FIND the page and then try to access who/what I want on it. .....and I find that working on a computer for long hours gives me a lot of eyestrain which doesn't happen with books no matter how far into the night I read. Books don't give me a sore shoulder and aching back either. I just curl up with one or several wherever it's comfortable.LOL. Cds are not so heavy though!! LOL.
