I like the way you think.

I know exactly what you mean! When things get really ugly at work, and I'm being worn down .... my attention (and fingers) stray to my list of "To Be Purchased" ebooks - and I feel I really do deserve to buy another one - I really want to be reading a book, not enduring another crappy day at work.

Yes, yes!

Whenever I'm bored at work, I'll stray to bol.com, or amazon, or bob... Checking if my favourite books are finally available, if there are some fun new books... And sometimes I just (by accident, I promise!), I just click...

Get more pbooks... more ebooks... more books...

What else are houses for if not to store one's collection of books and keep you dry whilst reading them?

If I have to go by yours, you don't need the diet! You've already gone too far!

I ordered another 8 pbooks yesterday. They are 2nd hand and I only really wanted one reasonably rare Neal Asher short story collection, but ordering just ONE felt wrong!

At least I got 15% off since I bought more than four.

Perhaps we need a Pbook Buying Addict's Support Thread.

Perhaps we do. Or maybe just a general book buyer addiction thread.

Hm. We are all here on the forums because we are voracious readers. Most of us traded the pbook-buying for ebook-buying due to physical restrictions, but booklovers we are and will be. If we are cured from that, what will become of us?
