As you can see, I finally succumbed to the lure of the e-reader! Thanks to those of you who left comments on my earlier post. I definitely took them all into consideration, but at the end of the day I decided to buy a Nook Simple Touch. I was able to get a good price, and ultimately I wanted to be able to get e-books from more places than just Amazon. (As you can see, I went a little overboard this month!) In the coming weeks, as I get more used to the Nook, I’ll post again on what I’ve learned and what I think the pros and cons are. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my new toy!
Great titles you got for your eReader! Now I’m wondering if I got all of the Fanny Burney titles on mine…lol
Glad to hear you enjoyed The Girl Who Chased the Moon! Have a lovely weekend 🙂
Haha, I totally plundered Girlebooks and Book Depository…tons of free classics on those sites! And yeah, The Girl Who Chased the Moon was lovely. Too bad I’ve now read all of SAA’s books and have to wait until next year for the next one!
