In three weeks time my sister and I are going to a theme park and spend two nights at one of their apartments. I'm bringing my Kindle with me, so I can continue with my normal reads. But for in the theme park I want to take a paperback book, so I can read when waiting in line and not have to worry about breaking my Kindle.
Last week I visited the local book store and I was somewhat shocked at the prices of the English paperbacks. I'm so used to ebook prices now I can't imaging paying €12.99 to €19,99 for a book anymore. Tomorrow I'm going to visit again and visit the basement where they sell the second hand books. We used to have another bookstore, which sold second hand books and overstock book that they bough, and sold, for low prices. You could find the weirdest books for only a couple of euros. They merged with another book chainstore and they went under not long after. My bookstore used to belong to the chain, but after bankruptcy it was taken over and is now an independent bookstore. I still love it, but I wish they had a bigger second hand section for English books.
