Do you own an e-reader??

[funnygirl]

I now have one and prior to this I used to buy a lot of books, especially the special offers
In WH Smith where the books are half price. My gripe is, if you were to download these special offers to your ereader
the cost is more than half price which I think is unfair.
It is enough to make you take up reading proper books again.

What do you think?

You pay for the convenience of not having to go to the shop and buy it.

I'm about to buy a Kindle, not the least because many of the downloads that I'm likely to buy are so cheap - some of them free.

Have you looked at other retailers' prices - surely there's more places to buy than WH Smith?

I am gonna have to do some research into this.

Look for the best download sites for books. If anyone knows of any please let me know!

Ta muchly.

I would suggest a Kindle, they're not expensive and they do exactly what you need.

You can get free books here: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

These are all out of copyright titles.

Equally Amazon have their own "free books" section: http://www.amazon.com...=UTF8&node=2245146011

If you want to catch up on the classics this may be a great way for you to do so.

All the best,

Spare

I would never have bought one of these for myself but my sister bought me an e-reader for my birthday some years ago. I pick up lots of stuff ffrom Gutenberg and appreciate the opportunity to read loads of classics. It also means I have a lot of books by my bedside without taking up a lot of room. Biggest problem, I find, is that with a real book I can give it to my wife or a friend when I'm finished with it but with an ebook I have to give them the reader as well.
