    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Book Club : I get that, and I usually always buy my books.  i just happened to google this one because it was so much.  I have a huge problem with the cost of e-books though.  I fully understand people need to get their cut and their royalties, but the fact that sometimes the e-books are just as much as the physical book is just absurd to me.  There is no physical cost to make the book when i buy it, no materials, no shipping, etc.   Also, it pisses me off that you can only lend each book once, if even at all.  If I were to go buy the book in the store for maybe an extra couple dollars, if even, I can pass that book around to every single person I know for absolutely free.  But If I pay $10 or more for an e-book, I can MAYBE pass it to 1 person, and that's it.  It's B.S., and I really hope they fix that.  I wouldn't even care if they charged like $1 or $2 to lend the books, but the way the have it now is ridiculous. But yeah yeah, I love my Kindle and still use it and still pay for books.

    You are in my brain right now.

    Some of my ebooks cost more than real books. Please.

    Couldn't agree more Beach. Usually I just go to the library, since I'm a cheapy and there's no "royalities issue" associated. But we're flying to Boston tomorrow am and I want to start reading.

    I hate that I can't lend books too!! I mean, I bought all the Number books and sent them to C, but the few that I had on Kindle I couldn't send to her.  Besides, they were cheaper to buy in paperback than to buy on Kindle.
