That's a very good point - I'm naturally frugal (despite my purchase of the reader
) and so I've been grabbing all the legally free books I can. I've reread all the Sherlock Holmes books, finally got around to reading some of the much-recommended P. G. Wodehouse, re-read Jules Verne, Mark Twain, and now have ebook versions of my beloved Jane Austen. I got "The Mysteries of Udolpho" and "Vanity Fair" but haven't got around to reading them yet. I expect this will encourage me to give a chance (or second chance) to some of those authors I never really appreciated in school, like Dickens.
I find I've been reading a lot more lately - whether it's the novelty of my new gadget or just my usual natural cycling of hobbies I don't know - and there's really enough at manybooks to keep me happily entertained for years. Plus, I feel smarter when I read "the classics"
I haven't bought anything at the connect store since I ran through the free $50, and only a small amount at fictionwise.
