No, as I said, the 10 book max on the device (or checked out) increases the cost-per-read if you don't return and get around to reading them or must return them unread to get a new book. So I'm thinking of joining for a month, then quitting and rejoining after a month or three if Amazon allows that.

If I leave the WiFi off I understand the books will not be deleted from my PW2. Is that correct? In other words join, get ten books you want to read, cancel and turn off WiFi, read the books at your leisure (say in three months) and then rejoin and get 10 more books. Cost per book = $1.00.
