As well, last Saturday, I came home with 34 books, 3 paperback the rest hard cover from the local animal shelter's annual 2 day yard sale. The last day of the two day sale, all books were free. I still prefer the physical book to the electronic one. 8c) |

I bought some reference books for a Bible study I am attending a couple of months ago. Usually for reference book and cook books I always buy the paper book. Just to read--I get the e-book. And if I really, really like it I will buy the paper book to have at home.

My latest purchase occurred on May 4th (May the Fourth be with you) The Courtship of Princess Leia. I bought it to support the author whose son was suffered a tragic longboarding accident.

Today, in fact! I bought the new Stephen King book, which of course is not available on e-book.

I just ordered a catalogue from Amazon, of Sargent's watercolours from the show currently on in New York. I only buy references and art books in paper, anymore - I prefer prose as ebooks. However, it's frustrating when I'm enjoying a series, and for some reason, books in the middle are not available in ebook format - it has happened several times.

I bought _A Memory of Light_ in January of this year. I have all the Wheel of Time books in hardback and they're delayed in ebook anyway.

Bought a used paperback from Amazon marketplace about a month ago. I was going on vacation and was worried my Kindle might die in flight. It didn't.
I read the book anyway, and I've gotta say....even though I read paper books for about 40 years, it drove me crazy to go back. I found it awkward and uncomfortable compared to the Kindle. I was planning to buy the new King book, but now I might just wait and see if he changes his mind in a year or so. |
