I'm glad to see alot of people like me.

One of my problems is that as an Australian previously reading paperback only, I was accustomed to paying over $30 per book. I always felt I needed to justify the purchase - especially with so many unread books already in my shelves.

With ebooks sometimes costing as little as 0.99 I'm going nuts!

Additionally, I just downloaded the entire Cory Doctorow freebie list with books that I just hadn't been able to justify spending $30 for as a paperback.

I'm happier than the proverbial pig. However, I am accumulating a massive virtual bookshelf that, like my actual bookshelf, contains a lion's share of unread works.

On a side note, my partner recently had a jab at me for contstantly "evangelising" about my Kindle to anyone who'll listen.

Regards
Caleb
