$89 is CHEAP. wow.
where I think Epub truely becomes advantagous beyond library is the ability to shop at bookstores from across the web from
Sony
Kobo
Google Books
Borders
Fictionwise
etc.

and what makes that so appealing is you take advantage of sales. For example I buy a good ton of my books from BN but I'm also on the Kobo bookstore email list and then send tons and tons of email specials and deals. 30% off here, buy 3 get one free there, so on and so on. I absolutley love Kobo ebookstore.

Library checkout is great from time to time but the real beauty of epub is the buying books where ever you want and being able to take advantage of any special deals, promos. etc.


Good luck and let us know how you make it. but that $89 is tough to pass up. Sister in law has a birthday coming up, I think she would be getting the nook
