Oh man - that brings back memories!!! I had a short term subscription to
Rainbow magazine back in the day, for my TRS-80 CoCo 2. :-)
Saw a link to some somewhere - maybe on a BBS? To read online...

Our oldest son was in elementary school when they first came out, so
we read them with him. :-)

One of our DIL's uses a Kindle PaperWhite, I think it's called.
She swears by it! She will read physical books too, but takes it
with her for when she can't grab a book. She was talking about
the battery life and how the screen looks like real paper.
My wife is not a reader, but liked it, so I bought her one but
the Scribe version, because she's a note taker. She will use it
instead of pencil and paper for notes at church.

I'm curious what you think about that! I've watched some of his
videos on "The Trail of the Nephalim" series. I think he's onto
something, even if we don't agree 100%.
