Yeah, but are they books that I haven't read in high school and college? If I want to read something relevant, I'm willing to pay for it. Plus, don't even get me started on the fact that authors SHOULD get paid.

Sometimes I do too. But then I got the Steve Jobs biography for Christmas and it's HUGE. I would much rather read it on my kindle. (Were it not for the fact that it was a Christmas present from in-laws who don't use technology, I would never have gotten that bio in paperback. Just seems wrong.)

i kind of miss holding an actual book. i'm surprised more people don't feel this way.

But if you go on amazon and buy from a used book seller sometimes you can get it really really cheap. That said, I have started using a kindle just because it's so convenient.

I really like my nook. But it reallys chafes my tush that when I purchase an ebook I can't share it with my household or lend it to a friend. Yes, I know some of the books on the nook can be lent, but it is only one time.

I fail to understand why purchasing an ebook takes away my rights as a consumer. When I purchase a paperback, I can read it, give it to my husband to read, share it with my friends, etc.

There are tons of Kindle books that are 2.99 or less. Kindle even breaks them out for you. I'd never pay full price for a book on the Kindle.

Is it under warranty?

And yes. If its still under warranty send it back. Even if it's not they offer to sell you a new one for cheap, $40 or so iirc.

Yeah. It's really hard to find free or cheap ebooks.

I've tried, but there always seems to be a wait for the books that I want to read. I do donate a lot of my great old books though.

One word: library

eBooks are so fucking expensive, more than a paperback.

I'm done. Just ordered 5 paperbacks from Amazon. The kindle will now be used as a door stopper.
