Default OT Eaarth

Dan L., I finally made it from position 125 at our local library to
having recieved the book "Eaarth : making a life on a tough new planet",
by Bill McKibben. Last I remember, from a few months ago, you had just
begun to read it on an iPad. What did you think of the book? Is it just
anther chronicle of humanity's descent into extinction, or did you find
hope as well?

It appears that no matter how well we correct our hubris, any damage we
have inflicted on the ecosystem will be with us for a long time to come.

How was the experience of reading on a tablet, instead of from paper
pages? Can you cut and paste text from the tablet to a word processing
program?

I am curious about your thoughts, as I begin my own journey through this
barren landscape.
