I am a voracious reader and love the smell of hardcover books. It can be an expensive habit if I wanted to read all the authors I love.
Last year I finally took the Kindle plunge and was surprised as well at the free stuff. You can borrow a book every month for free if you are a Prime member, they have a huge list of free titles that change every few days, and there are sites out there that offer free books (there's a horror site on Facebook that has a few books a day for free).
Not to mention the bundles of books for only .99 cents. 6-7 books for that price is crazy. Purchasing the Kindle has saved me money in the long run and I have discovered new authors. I still do buy paperbacks of certain authors but otherwise everything is on my Kindle
"When butting in, it can help to let someone know you’ve been there." I liked the piece on other people's money mistakes. I'm trying to address a few financial issues between my husband and me, and if you think dealing with a simple friend on this issue is tricky, try dealing with a spouse.
Re: the Kindle. I'm just a big fan. After years of me raving about mine, my Dad got a Paperwhite for Mom. After a couple of days of frustration and "I hate this" she discovered its true glories and is now a complete convert. :-)
I was struck by the post on the Kindle too. Heh, I guess that's why I linked to it. :) But I found the same experience: at first I thought it would be dumb device that would just collect dust (my Kindle was a gift), but it's brought me a lot of books for free that I'd otherwise probably not read. The public domain books are in many ways a big gift to humanity from Amazon.
