Have you ever changed your mind on something so radically that it actually surprised you? For instance, I never imagined I would embrace electronic books. I always loved the feel of opening a book. Now, I prefer e books so completely that I gave away most of my paper books. I was surprised!
I have changed my mind about other things I never imagined I would turn towards. Have you?

I always told my mom and dad I wouldn't have children. 
I don't think I could give up real books. How sad would it be not to have libraries or bookstores anymore. My dh was talking about getting Lilly a Kindle for her birthday. I was like, "nooooooo."

Lol Bianca has had hers for quite sometime now and loves it. I have the Kindle app as well as the iBooks app on my iPad and I can honestly say I'm hooked.

I love my kindle app - I have read so much more than I ever did with paper books. it used to be one to three books in the summertime, and I just didn't have time for reading the rest of the year. Now I can breeze thru a book on the kindle in a day or so, and have read 3 books this week!

I love my Kindle. I read a ton of books as I do that during my lunch time at work. I used to spend tons of money on the new releases -- now I get the 'free' books from Amazon and buy one every once in awhile. I've probably only spent $30 on books in the past 2.5 years.

Yes, ebooks is one for me too. Not so far as to give away my books are exclusively use an e-reader, but I do like it.
I've changed my mind of many things. I don't understand why people don't think you can or that you can change your mind back. I think we are exposed to new info all the time that influences how we feel about things. I hate that people pretend to be steadfast in everything and call other people flip-floppers.
