I have been good this week, and just bought 3 e-books. Unfortunately, today is the hardest day for me. Why? My bank charges me the last month's bill, leaving a clean slate. *takes a deep breath* But I'll be strong, and not buy any e-books.
*wanders over to Elib* |

i'm set to buy some used pbooks xP
by the way, how much is a reasonable price for used pbooks? i'm buying online and having them shipped to the US so it'll be cheaper. the books themselves are cheap. it's the shipping, lol. so right now i have 3 used pbooks in my online basket, which adds up to $13.42 including shipping. is that fine? |

So about $4.50 a book? Sounds good to me. |

@odi: yeah, but the shipping was more expensive than the book. xP
@crusader: one is HB and the other two are PB xP @mikael: np i considered buying a new copy of Dancer from the Dance from a bookstore here, but the price of it was more expensive than those 3 used books altogether so i just decided to get a used copy xD |

My name is Phil and I am an ebook addict (or did I just read that somewhere?).
I really must go on a speed reading course if I am to finish all of my books in my lifetime! I even have around 500 novels in French to read when I think that my French is fluent enough to be able to read at the same spped as I do in English. Unfortunately, reading the various threads on MobileRead just makes me interested in even more books. Talking of speed reading, I remember Woody Allen saying that he took one of those courses and managed to read the whole of War and Peace in just 20 minutes. When asked what the book was about, he replied "Russia"! |

I just joined a book lending group on Goodreads. Maybe that will help me with the urge to buy everything. It can't hurt!
