Baen is a very good publisher, although Iwas unaware that that they would email my paperwhite for me. I have only one qualm about htem, their book prices are too high for me, let me explain I will not pay anything more than $8 for any book, I simply do not care who wrote it or how good or bad it is, no one is worth more than that. Their book prices tend to be around $9 each, that's too much. You can get around that if you buy the monthly bundles, of which I have done a few times, however I am reading thrillers these days rather than sci-fi and/or fantasy books. Other than that they are a great publisher.

I read the first three Harry Potter a while after they were the rage and never really finished the series, becuase of the book prices. I was then and still are now simply not willing to pay more than $8 for any book, no matter who wrote it. Kindle Unlimited removes price of the book from consideration, other than the fact that I will probably like to read = > $10 worth of books. I do not think that this will be that dificult considering the amount of time that I put in on reading books (typically 28 hours a week).
