Hi Jana,
I am also a compulsive downloader, both from this service and Web-braille.
For me, I think a lot of it has due to book-deprivation in early life. I
remember going to the school library and practically running out of books
because I read them all.
I would order from the regional library, and I might get any given book, or
I might not. The library was 135 miles from our house, and unless we were
going into Chicago for something else, I didn't get there.
Things got better as I became an adult, both in Illinois and here Kentucky.
However, I still had to wait for books.
There is just something wonderful about the instant gratification. I
download all these books that I wonder if I will ever get read. Yet, I
don't want to always see the same titles, so I download more. I hope to
retire in a couple of years. By that time, I'll have downloade an even
larger number of books and newspapers.
Isn't this fun!
