specialmama Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Sometimes my brain is on the right road. It might be a gravel road and I may even be going in the right direction... but I can't see the city through the trees... meanwhile ya'll probably had an aerial map all along and knew exactly where you were going and arrived months before me... so please humour my late epiphany. I have been wanting an e-reader of some sort, just waiting another year for improvements such as graphics (come on colour!) and more wi-fi glitches to be ironed out. So I don't know why this didn't dawn on me until now... I can save thousands of dollars using an e-reader! I can get so many books, even many classics that WTM or TOG recommend... for FREE... :svengo: Is it just me, or did high school just get cheaper? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia On My Mind Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I am in the same boat with you on waiting for the bugs to get worked out of Kindles. So where's the cheapest place to buy one now that you have enlightened us all? Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I had that moment while standing in the Lamplighter booth at the convention. The lady working the booth started to explain how they find the stories they publish and told me that they are all copyright free books. I later looked up some of the titles on Googlebooks and low and behold, there they were- FREE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraway Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 You may want to borrow and try out the types of books that you want to use. I have my mom's Kindle because I wanted to download some free out of print readers for my son. They are full of bad formatting, typos, goofy symbols, etc. It drives me insane. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Project Gutenberg is listed. Any idea if you can do this with books from the Baldwin Project? I use a lot of stuff from there, but usually old text copies that I find used. It is a pain and expensive to print them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
