I haven't paid more than $7.99 for a soft cover book in my life. callandor1000 Send a noteboard - 28/12/2009 03:13:04 PM
These are books that are selling for $9.99 at the same time that the hardback copy of the book is the only version available, and is selling at around $20-25.


And anyways, as people have stated the few times I've complained about hardcover, you can always go to your library, pay nothing to read it and then buy it when it comes out in softcover for less than $9.99.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

My mind isn't always in the gutter, it just has VIP access

it makes much more sense to just buy a book. $5.99 is far cheaper than $9.99 *NM* callandor1000 - 28/12/2009 06:22:47 AM 371 Views
Yes, but you're talking about a paperback book, and one that's on sale at that. Bryce - 28/12/2009 12:23:31 PM 721 Views

Yuo can also be 10th on a waiting list at the library and read it months after release. everynametaken - 28/12/2009 05:22:27 PM 866 Views
But the chances of something happening to said device is greater than your house. callandor1000 - 29/12/2009 06:27:21 AM 764 Views
You realize that you could back up virtually your entire library on a single flash drive, yes? Ghavrel - 29/12/2009 09:43:51 AM 594 Views
No "virtually" about it-1 4gb flash drive=6000 or so books *NM* Corporal Crusty - 30/12/2009 02:28:20 PM 316 Views
Some people have larger libraries than that. But yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/12/2009 05:33:58 AM 267 Views
You answered your own question. You back them up. everynametaken - 30/12/2009 12:53:33 AM 773 Views

If I were buying a book for mandatory reading (i.e., college), I might consider an e-book. Tom - 29/12/2009 03:28:31 PM 721 Views

Trade paperbacks are the ones with the heavy covers, right? Tom - 29/12/2009 08:19:33 PM 679 Views
Yeah. Different sizes and all. Fun to organize. *NM* rebelaessedai - 31/12/2009 04:19:57 AM 263 Views
you could always take the book covers OFF LadyLorraine - 30/12/2009 04:28:18 PM 663 Views
Well, yeah. But still. *NM* rebelaessedai - 31/12/2009 04:19:29 AM 275 Views
I prefer the opposite. I keep all my textbooks and prefer ebook versions of other works. *NM* everynametaken - 30/12/2009 12:55:55 AM 287 Views

Sigh. This whole argument of ebooks versus regular books is beyond stupid. Ghavrel - 30/12/2009 11:04:46 AM 727 Views
I agree with you LadyLorraine - 30/12/2009 04:33:22 PM 673 Views

In all fairness, when I got an iPod all my CDs went to boxes in the basement. Tom - 31/12/2009 12:59:14 AM 893 Views
True. But there's no tangible difference between music from an iPod and music from a CD. Ghavrel - 31/12/2009 05:33:26 AM 645 Views
Ripping all my music and getting rid of the CDs was a space-liberating moment for me. everynametaken - 31/12/2009 06:18:20 AM 597 Views
