I have one ebook that has been through at least 3 revisions since I purchased it. The version number on the copyright page is still 4.1 so that's not a reliable indicator.

Out of curiosity, I checked out a Little Free Library on the way back from an appointment. It was filled with Harlequin romances and religious literature. not sure what I expected, lol.

Just looking through some books making up a list of what I want to buy and saw a description for a book on the interweb describing it as 'unputdownable'

ahhhh

I know there's a debate over whether this is a word or not, whether it is or isn't there's something about it that grates on my nerves,reading it is like biting on a bit of tinfoil (aluminum foil) to me

'Unputdownable' the word always makes me a little twitchy. If you superglue the book to your hand, does it count?
