You may remember my decision to never again buy paper and plastic, i.e. printed books and music CDs. Even remember that I’ve decided to stop buying music downloads and do streaming via Spotify instead?
Well, it’s a success. Reading e-books has made me a much more active reader and hearing music on Spotify constantly lets me discover great music made by artists I’ve never before heard of. Wanna hear an example? “The Train” by 17 Hippies, a group that has been in business for a long time but never caught my attention. It is a great song and a good example for the quality of their other music. Hear it on YouTube.

I'm in total agreement Andreas. On both counts. Since converting to e-books I have read far more and I've also found that using the Goodreads web site has opened me up to titles and authors I may not have considered otherwise. The same goes for Spotify where music is concerned. Now if only there was a decent movie streaming equivalent which includes all the extras you get on DVDs I would definitely have a lot of available shelf space.
