That is amazing. It is a fantastic idea, and I hope it works. When I first got my Kindle ebooks were very cheap, supposedly because ebooks were a lot cheaper to produce. Some how that has all changed. Sorry to say that hasn't made any difference to me. I still love being able to carry many books with me wherever I go, and being able to read them any time/anyplace that I want to. I do all of my reading on my iPad 2 now, cause I like it better, but my Kindle was my first ebook reader and will always hold a special place in my heart.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Kindle. Absolutely no glare on screen. Easy to make type larger for old eyes. Kindle can read to me while I am quilting or driving. Books are downloaded almost instantly from Amazon. Best sellers are $9.99 but lots of classics are free. Fits easily in my purse and goes with me everywhere. Love it so much that I bought one for each of my adult children, both of whom are avid readers.

My best friend and I both purchased a Nook at the same time. Some of the books we purchase can be shared between us, and that is a savings. However, the cost of these books has risen much higher than expected and B&N used the low cost of books at the time as a selling point. But we are not sorry about the purchase.

I have a Kindle and it's my favorite possession other than my Brother 4000D. Right now I have 146 books loaded into it and have only bought 4 of those. I belong to a daily blog newsletter that sends out the titles of the books Amazon is offering free and they have quite a selection. New authors, indie authors, business topics, novels, biographies, children's books....you name it. I also like that Amazaon archives the books for you after you have read them so you can go back to re-read or to look something up if you want to. My Kindle goes with me everywhere, especially if I know I will be waiting for something. I also love it for on-the-plane reading. Lightweight and the screen has no glare so you can read outdoors if you like.
