Wow, you are WAY worse than me with the hardcovers. I've got about 12 on my bedside table (not counting school/work related) and get annoyed looks from my other half, especially given that part of the rationale for the 505 purchase was that I wouldn't need to buy pbooks anymore.

One of my dearest fantasies is the time to read 8 hours a day. Not that work and school don't involve lots of reading, some of it enjoyable, but ... it would still be fantastic to spend much of my time reading books that I want to read, for no other purpose than the pleasure of reading them.

And, on topic, it really is hard to say no to 100% FW rebates, isn't it? I mean it's practically free. And then the money is already spent, so if you're on the fence about whether or not to buy another book, you might as well use your microcredit account ...
