RE: They Say You Can Tell a Lot About a Person by the Books They Keep.
Being able to buy ebooks is convenient, but it's so much different to be able to touch the papers. Plus, you wouldn't have a bookshelf.
It just wouldn't be the same!
I agree. I might eventually have to start getting at least some ebooks but I would probably be surrounded wall to wall before that happened. XD
I have an e-reader and it's still atheistically pleasing to see scroll and see all the covers of the books. You still have your beautiful bookshelf it's just in a different format.
I am not anti e-reader but personally I prefer physical books. :) there are many advantages to kindles.
There are definitely advantages to both. I switched over to digital, but man I miss walking into a book store or being able to buy cheap books at second hand stores.
I never want to give that up! I do have a tablet with the kindle app now though. I haven't used it much yet because usually the books cost more than if I buy them used online and I am just so into the physical copies but I can see clear advantages to kindle, a lot of them. :) I guess I am just a collector of books.
Oh a tip, there is a website called bookbub. You fill in what genres and authors you like and they will send you an email for sales. You can also bookmark particular books and they notify you when they go on sale. I have gotten lucky that way. It's my version of a cheap book store lol They check amazon, kindle, and iBooks.
I doubt it can be cheaper than thriftbooks where I pay like $3 -$3 per used book but they may have more new options!! I will definitely go check them out. :D Thanks. o0o0oh wait, they have kindle sales too? Okay, definitely worth it. There are sometimes books I want to read but don't really need to own.
I've gotten books for a dollar or two. If you have a long to read list and are patient it's worth it.
There's still a lot of room under my desk! :D
