What to do? What to do? It took precisely 4.376 seconds for my brain to convince the rest of my body to grab the book and take it home. Evidently, the "good deal" wasn't good enough anymore.

Have I now set a new precedent? If an ebook costs more than $3.84, do I automatically pick it up from the library?

Am I really as cheap as people say I am? Ahh, doesn't matter cause I am happy with my thriftiness.
as you do not have a device, I don't know that it makes any sense for you to be buying any ebooks
