I don't mind reading on a app. I belong to Scribd however I would never purchase a book I couldn't back up but free books I'll read them however I can.
Exactly. No good cutting off your nose to spite your face. If there was anything there I particlarly wanted to read I too would take advantage of the offer. Apart from the wider issues, I chose e-ink readers because they are much easier on my eyes. My vision is not improving with age. Also, I like to use larger fonts, and some of the reading apps can be hit or miss on this. In my case I could install their Android app on my T68, and just hope the reading experience is acceptable. There is a real risk it may not be at the moment as not many Android apps take account of en e-ink screen. But if it is not, I won't have the option of opening the book in Moon Reader or Mantano or Aldiko or, in fact, any alternative. A free ebook, of course, means I would lose only my time. I think I will stick with Amazon.
