Re: Saving you money?
$2.99!
But for ease of use, ebooks/ereaders are awesome! And I actually find that I read more this way.

I didn't think of the "episode effect" of quite a few ebook series. Great point!TruLady1 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2019, 20:33 I agree that the individual books could be less expensive, but if your are not careful you can spend quite a bit of money. Also the way many ebook writers are actually making more money on their books because of the "cliff hanger" .. part 1, 2, 3, etc. You get hooked and before you know it .. you have spent almost $10 vs
$2.99!

That gets expensive.
I do sometimes get a lot of books for a buck, but it's much harder to weed through which ones are long enough to satisfy my reading speed. I prefer to shop at BookOutlet for print copies. Although, it's much easier to pick up where you left off when reading a Kindle book across multiple devices/platforms. Like taking the ebook and reading on iPad and then moving to read on Desktop while on hold at work.

You make a good point. Ebooks are great especially because of the convenience. When I get book cravings, ebooks satisfy it faster!Ljsoso wrote: ↑03 Mar 2016, 16:29 I think that it can save you money if you have self control. Unfortunately I do not. I find that the ease of buying a lot of books and quickly from the ereader store makes me spend more money than if I had to go to the actual bookstore. So our doesn't actually save me money, but it does save me time.

You can download pdfs of famous novels for free and can also read them online without spending your money. So according to me, it really saves money except for some books which costs you almost same as a physical copy of that book. And if you really wanna read the specific book which is not available without spending some money it's alright to spend some.
