Im still using my old one

This is my first e-reader. I'm surprised how many free and really cheap books Amazon has. Be interesting to see how many of them are actually any good.

Have a look at a book an ex-friend of mine wrote.
http://www.amazon.com/Eternity-Bein...r1&keywords=the+eternity+of+a+global+traveler

Believe it or not he paid $2000 to have that professionally edited and published, and guess how many it's sold on Kindle, Nook, Kobo and iTunes Store?

You know of course that you can check out more recent books thru your local library. Welcome to the 21st century.

Guessing by zero reviews on Amazon, not many.

I bought Dngrswife a Kindle for Christmas, and she uses it a lot; though she still prefers paper (a good hardcopy is just so nice to read), she is at least not completely averse to reading an ebook now.

I also like a hard copy book better, it's something about turning the page and folding the corner down so you remember where you left off.

Last time I spoke to the author, who's also an English expat living in China, it had been on Kindle, Nook, etc. for a year and it had sold zero copies!

...frankly his book is just boring, and is one reason why we don't tend to talk any more.

Anyone can have a book published electronically, if they want to pay the up-front publishing agent fees, rather like a vanity press, but doesn't necessarily mean that anyone will actually want to buy and read it though. A bookstore selling real books, will only fill their shelves with books they think and know might sell, whereas an e-book store has almost unlimited capacity, Amazon would like to sell the e-books, but on the other hand it's not really costing them anything if a proportion of them don't sell at all, or sell very few.

出售"For sale" coin operated excavators. Could be useful for small jobs I suppose, and not for building highways.

Evidently they didn't serve their original purpose, to make their owner lots of money.

Could come in handy when our garden need some work.

"HOLIDAYMAKER EQYESTRIAN CLUB THE BRILLIANT NOMENT"

Do I need this shirt?

Dngrsone · Jul 19, 2015

I like living life noment to noment...

mikedt · Jul 19, 2015

I just like living life, worry about the moments when they happen.

What exactly is "Clambake"? That isn't a clothing brand of Heilan Home Menswear(see above post) or a very cheesy Elvis Presley movie

Sure fire way to get the kids up in the morning. Requires external speakers cranked up. Results are amazing and humorous!
