Just been bought a kindle paperwhite for my birthday. Hoping it will mean I can get back into reading without having to fill up my shelves with books that reproach me for not flicking through them, and taking up shit loads of space.
It's probably been mentioned before, but am I the only one shocked by how expensive books for the kindle are? It feels like when CD's replaced vinyl, smaller, digital product, less packaging, but costing the same, or more than what they are replacing.
If the paperback coasts 7.99 I'm not expecting a digital version of it to cost the same or more, it just feels ridiculous, one book I went looking for cost twenty quid, the paperback didn't cost that much when it was first published...

Just venting.
