Those offering FREE books seemed to be giving away very little!
Being a pensioner with time to read price is a prime consideration!
My next thought was, can I swap an ebook with my pals. Even if the ereader will hold up to 1000 books I suppose a book can be deleted when read. Personally I do not read a book more than once!
Being completely "green" about this new innovation I would be most happy to hear from others who might be able to answer my queries and give me encouragement to spend about £200, explaining to me the advantages. After all one can buy a lot of books for this amount of hard-earned.
Hoping to see your comments soon....
