This is supposedly an advantage, in that you don't have to use your own space to store them.
But I like to cuddle my treasures and glory over them and have them available when the Internet goes out. I may have been a dragon in a previous life.

Woohoo NoiseDesign!
I'm pretty sure iTunes will let you actually download a copy and put it somewhere safe or even burn it to DVD. I haven't tried that in a while, though. I don't know about the others, but you can download books from Amazon, why not video? Would need the proprietary player for any of them, I guess, unless you can convert them somehow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You don't technically own the books you buy from Amazon, either - they can always take them back from you.

Took Walter for another walk, let him set the pace and choose the direction. Usually he follows our regular route but today he decided to detour around the hotel, so that was interesting. On the way back, saw a robin with a worm that he had apparently just pulled out of the ground. 5:56 PM, I don't think that qualifies as early.
Incidentally, my Fitbit counted 3757 steps while the Zombies, Run app on my phone came up with 4761. Hm.

But you have access to them offline, and there's nothing stopping you from moving the file to hard drive not connected to the internet. Is there?

Congrats, ND!
Rebecca most of my kids' favorites probably skew too young to appeal to mac, but they like The Unwanteds series. That one seems to have a bigger age range in its appeal. And Isaac read and loved the old Robin Hood.
What about Atul Gawande's Better? That's written for adults but I don't think the language or concepts would be a barrier, and his basic message is medicine is not perfect, it may not even be perfectible, but when practiced with diligence, it gets better and better.
Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and I is written to his 15 year old son.
Uh, maybe ask Kat? She probably knows good books for summer reading.

I don't actually know -- really I'm just repeating tumblr propaganda.

Oh, I just thought of another book! The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
