I want to read on an e-reader since it saves trees  and convinience but this makes me just want to get a normal instead. |
I don't 'have' more money to spend on e-books. I simply choose to spend my money there (sometimes) instead of on something else.
Most of my books are free ones downloaded from here, or other booksites. I have over 300 books downloaded, and most are free.
I don't know the answer to your question, perhaps someone else does.
Oh, and welcome!
