Beautiful Solution To An Orchid Problem
February 14, 2011One of the quickest ways to organize your life and minimize your physical footprint (especially if you LOVE books) is to embrace ebooks and release the death-grip you probably have on stacks and stacks of books. Wouldn’t it be nice to have any book you wanted only an arms-length away, without ever having to dust another volume?
