Darn! I should have not gone to B&N last night...though I had to becuase of my book club (see I was tempted beyond my ability to resist). While I was waiting I came across a book I'd been waiting for. Of course when I came home I had to buy & download it.

I've just found out that the Hornblower novels are available in nice omnibus versions in the Uk Kindle store. But I can resist. It's not like I haven't read them all already. Mind you, I suppose that means they wouldn't have to go on my TBR pile...

So what do you do when the book you really want to read is on the other reader and not the one you have with you when you are not at home?

With the recent 20% off coupon at Kobo and the fact that I have some Borders gift card money left, I bought an eBook at Kobo. Now I didn't go buying one just to buy one. I bought one I wanted and it isn't an agency eBook. So it's a win-win.

My name is Pippa and I am only here because my family has forced me to come. They think I have a problem, but the problem actually lies with them.
My husband sometimes hides the router or my credit card so I can't buy ebooks, my 8 year old complains that there is no food in the cupboard, my 11 year old complains because I don't pick him up from soccer practice, my mother complains because I haven't rung her in over a week. Surely they are being unreasonable. It's not my fault that ebooks are so cheap or even free, that I can carry hundreds of books wherever I go, or that I get distracted whilst in the middle of a good book. Anyway, I doubt I'll be back for a meeting as there is nothing wrong with me, I'm sorry that all of you are having to meet like this and I wish you luck in your recovery. |

Would a pbook buyer also be welcome here? Since geographic restrictions have pretty much put a huge damper on my ebook purchasing I've resorted to pbook acquisition on a massive scale. Case in point - my latest book haul.
