Where can I buy ebooks? Help!

[frogbeastegg]

Well there sweetheart, you appear to be inflicted with the same chronic affliction as my dear departed first wife. My study is an extention of the Library of Congress, and much of it belonged to Marcy. I pray your significant other, and the Postman, is blessed with a strong back.

It's not an affliction. It's a state of higher being.

I have my poor dear boyfriend well trained. He carries book bags without being asked ... most of the time. Occasionally he manages to look semi-interested when he asks (with a pained tone, naturally) what I've brought this time. Even better, sometimes he will, of his own accord and entirely sincerely, start saying my reading so much is a good thing and he admires it.

don't your eyes hurt after reading for long periods of time on an e-reader?

The Sony Reader uses an e-ink display. They are nothing like monitors or LCDs, and the end result does look exactly like paper. I've read an entire book in a single sitting without any adverse effects, whereas a monitor tends to make my eyes irritable after less than an hour.



OH, BTW, I got 11 books yesterday. I wanted another 7 but they were blocked to me. I'd have got 10 more from the WH Smiths site but I baulked at the checkout - they tried to tax me! There is no tax on books in the UK, electronic or otherwise. I'm in the UK, it's a UK site, and that was £25 of pure extortion. I refuse to pay it.
