Made some purchases today. Got my copy of Revival. Also got copies of Skeleton Crew and Tommyknockers since i only have them in swedish translation. Also bought Cell but that is a birthdaygift. So i wrapped that one up. Im not a professional in wrapping things up so it looks fancy but i guess its the thought that counts, Right?

I totally respect that, but if one of the two he bought is just for the purpose of reading, there's no reason to blow his money on a hardback of it when the ebook is several dollars cheaper.
Maybe he just likes to crack the spine of a newbie?
(that may have come out wrong :Oo: so... I stayed up a little late reading Revival last night :biggrin2: )

I would never buy an E-book. Just doesn't get the feeling then. It is probably different for others. But for me... No!

I blame strong coffee, lack of sleep and a desire to pick up my book again. :a11: :biggrin2:

Remember the days when the SKMB closed on Friday at 4Pm and didn't open til 9A on Monday---- reading time to the prime!
read on Flake- enjoy. I'm a slow reader only 70 pages in. I see cat eyes looking at me. Closing book to feed.........

Man, you need an e-reader. Hardback books are way too expensive to buy doubles. I got my Kindle version of REVIVAL for less than $13!

I have major problems reading off a screen. My eyes aren't what they used to be. Plus, I just plain like the feel of a printed book. (And you don't have to worry about charging an e-reader.)

(By the way, my cost for each book was $14.40.)

Ah, great price indeed! But you did know that e-readers allow you to increase the text size well larger than what even large print books offer, right?
