i'm so happy to find you all! I'm relatively new to ebooks - but an avid reader with over 300 books in my electronic libraries. I use a bb playbook to read my books, and prefer to use Calibre as my electronic library and bookshelves. I love the fact that Calibre lets me organize my books by more than simply "author" or "title". I'm still frustrated more often than not by the limits imposed on ebooks, and the fact that the prices remain comparable to the soft cover versions - even though considerably less costs are involved for the production and distribution.
In a perfect world, we would have the option of paying a nominal amount for an ebook if we already purchased the real version of it, or at least paying a significantly reduced price from the print version, we would be able to store all our ebooks in the electronic library or bookselves of our choice in a way that makes sense to us personally, and be able to read them on the device of our choosing... unfortunately here on earth things are still far from perfect. |
