adaliabooks: I'm hesitant to buy books these days because so many of them are just crap. You read the back and think it sounds interesting and then it turns out that a five year old could probably have done a better job. It makes me wary of buying books by new authors, which is a real shame. The price of easy publishing I suppose.
I know what you mean. It's got a lot worse these last few years. That's one of the few advantages of a Kindle, you can get a free sample of the book, and sometimes the many sales means you can get books relatively cheap. I prefer paper books a lot more than ebooks, but my partner decided I needed a kindle, as we are running out of room to store my lifetimes collection of books. :-)
The Kindle Paperweight is not too bad, I can read quite easily with it, but you can't beat the smell and feel or a real book. :-)
LaPtiteBete: Thanks a lot, DD :'-| You're too kind...

Here is my baby owl <3
