Read-Along: A Passage to India

Hi fellow MobileReaders.....

pilotbob and I are thinking of reading "A Passage to India" by E.M. Forster at the same time (it was listed on Time's 100 greatest list, which I posted earlier today).

I was wondering if anyone else is game? It's available on Amazon for the Kindle at the low low price of $3.95, and available as a .lit on Fictionwise for $4.58 if you're a club member.

C'mon people...it might be fun! If people are interested, we'll pick a start date....Bob and I both have books in the works that we need to finish first.

After the 50% rebate at Fiction and being a club member, you get it for $5.09 with the final price being $2.54 and the rest going to your micropay account.

But, I've found a legal copy for $0. I just borrowed it from my public library's eBook collection.

It's not about winning, it's about helping others. And now I have it on my 505 ready to start.

Even though it is only 3.95 for Kindle, I am going to grab it from Fictionwise for 5.99. I have $10.xx micropay credit so I might as well use it.

Count me in. I haven't read this one yet, but I liked Howards End and especially A Room with a View.

And it's $5.99 in BoB (minus 3.05 in reward dollars, making it $2.94 in the end). PDF, eReader and Mobipocket versions.

But if you pay for it at Fictionwise using Micropay, you'll end up not getting the discount.

But why would I want to spend more cash there? Every book I've checked price for at Amazon has been more at FW. Even more than the club price many times. I just want to use up the rest of my micro pay.

I got it from FW. Used a coupon from their club promo. So I have no idea what I paid for it. I have a suspicion that it was around $300.00.
