My compromise has been our state's digital library which has a growing collection of eBooks. The selection is limited and they force the eBooks to be checked out as if they were real books, so if one copy is out you have to wait just like at the library. But it is FREE.

There is more flap than a 1920's Ballroom - and, by default, it is somehow my fault. <br /><br />Give me the musky, dusty smell of gentle (or genteel) decay of the second hand bookshop where I can loose myself amongst the unwanted and obscure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-77055289295218284502013-01-31T18:18:57.808+00:002013-01-31T18:18:57.808+00:00You're a wealth of information today.
