But you'll have to return that. Having a copy means you can read it whenever you want.

Started Life of Pi at the weekend, so far, not bad

It's a fair point and much overlooked.

Libraries are great places if you've a wide reading appetite and don't need a particular book, right now!

When I worked in London many moons ago, I'd get a couple of books out of the library each Saturday, read then on the train in the week and swap them for two more the next week.

Kindle is great (and I did buy Life of Pi for 20p), but it's not the ONLY way to consume books and, even at 20p each, not the cheapest!

Support your local library,which provides many more benefits for your community than just free books, rather than Tax dodging Amazon!

I agree, but as it is so popular with the film out I was trying to let people that do use their Kindle that is was cheap at the moment wink

I think it's been cheap for a while, I got a Kindle for my birthday on the 2nd at it was 20p then too.

Not got around to starting it yet, too many 'PH' reads on the list first wink
