Thanks. Thanks all. I’m not terribly worried, as I have plenty to read before I really run out. I find it funny how they give us all of these free classics - expecting we will read a handful, at best, and then go hunting for what they sell. Funny in that these are the books I've been buying and wanting for years. Although, I am a bit bummed that I'd already spent $18 on
The Divine Comedy and nearly that for
Don Quixote when it is very likely I'll br reading them from my eReader instead.
I love the physicality of books. It has just become impractical, given I never know what I'm in the mood for. These eReaders allow me to carry hundreds with me, instead of a bag of books...which is what I'd do.
