Of course not everyone got that raise, plenty of places are still paying those low wages but working people still have to eat inflation. And if you're on a fixed income from a pension or social security you're hosed.

    I got a kindle for Christmas and have read more in the last few months than in the last decade. I think it being a screen kinda helps, and also being able to download books instantly instead of having to go to the library or a bookstore.
