Question about books and Nook/kindle
I am possibly interested in getting an e-reader - but I am cheap and NEVER buy books. I only rent them from the library. Is this a good option for me or no? Those of you who have nooks/kindles - do you buy a lot of your books? Are new books available on line?

Re: Question about books and Nook/kindle
You can rent from the library on both.... I mostly buy books under $5... There are also a lot of free books on both.

Re: Question about books and Nook/kindle
I have a Nook and went a little crazy buying books so I try to stick to getting the cheapies. I did buy the "11/22/63" because I heard how great it was and I was not dissapointed.

DW has several dozen books that were free, and she's borrowed several from the library. Especially if you like the classics, there are plenty of sites that offer those e-books for free.

Re: Question about books and Nook/kindle
I'm spending a lot. I used to go to the library and get books out. Now with the kindle, I'm reading more which is a plus, but when i finish a book, I immediately buy a new one. I think since november, I've bought 7 of the Jack Reacher series alone all at 9.99 a pop 
ETA : and have not taken out a single book from the library.

Re: Question about books and Nook/kindle
I used to buy a lot, but since the Kindle has started allowing library lending I haven't bought a single one. I would try going to your library's website and searching for some books/authors you like to see if they are available as ebooks and then you'll be able to better judge.

I've been 50/50. I've borrowed a lot, but I'm frustrated that a lot I want isn't available electronically yet.
