Not to mention all the free ebooks available.
Yep. And, unfortunately, a lot of them aren't very good. I've come to that conclusion after reading quite a few of these free and cheap books from Amazon. I haven't downloaded one of my free Prime books in about six months. I go to Overdrive instead. Mostly I use Amazon for inexpensive reprint books (on history or religion) not for novels.
I've picked up a bunch of books by Raymond Chandler, Steinbeck, Amy Tan, Richard Matheson, J.R.R. Tolkien, etc. for $1.99 or less. I'd say they were very good books.

Maybe I just have lower standards than you.
