I'm going to Amazon as soon as I post here.<br /><br />I rotate between my Kindle and paper books, but ultimately, most of the Kindle books I buy are $5+ less than buying the book at my local Barnes and Noble. The Amazon option's really no better, because I'll pay $7-8 to ship the book if I'm under $25. Which makes me add more stuff to get to $25. Darn those genius marketing people.<br /><br />Kindle on!<br /><br />Marie at the CheetahMarie Reardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653459061863869033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114539.post-9324138953526451072011-04-14T09:29:23.753-07:002011-04-14T09:29:23.753-07:00Great topic for K.

I love books, but I think I need one myself.

Good post.

(Especially the tips for finding cheap books.)<br /><br />After I got my Nook eReader, it took me a year to catch up on all of the paper books I'd purchased to read. I used the same strategy (1 paper, 1 electronic) too! :-)<br /><br />If you read a lot, there's no better alternative than an eReader. It's easy, mostly cheaper, and clutter free. Paper books are pretty and smell good (I think), but for me that's not enough of a reason to keep using them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8114539.post-62913360142732660602011-04-13T20:46:24.206-07:002011-04-13T20:46:24.206-07:00Lindsay, that is so sad.

Now I'm having to read my books on the blinding white background of the iPad (their e-reader is really inferior). Maybe I need to start a new fund called: "Give a kindle to the idiots who lose theirs" LOL. So much reading to do. . .Lindsay N.
