I never thought I'd do it! I never thought I would cave in! But yesterday I went to Chapters and did it! I bought my first ereader. And I was really excited about it. As usual, all I wanted for Christmas was a gift certificate from Chapters, but this year it was for a grander purpose. In the past, I would usually come up with a list of books I wanted to read and go over the list many times, usually blowing it as soon as I walked in the store, buying whatever I fancied at the time. But this time, I went into Chapters with a clear purpose and to my hubby's complete amazement, I didn't even look at the books. (I think he's forgotten about all of the other online gift certificates I've been collecting all year!!!!) As soon as I figure out how to download the books, I will begin using my ereader. And since I'm going to Europe in March, I've been breathing a collective sigh of relief at not having to carry all of those books overseas anymore. And that pretty much sold him too. Hubby is now thinking about buying his own. I almost fell off my chair when he mentioned it. But the thought of sharing mine...I don't think so (lol)!

I don't know what else I am planning to read as I will be playing around with my new ereader so I can see myself reading something I download just to see how that goes.
Happy reading everyone!
Ooh congrats! I'm still not sure about E-readers - heck, I haven't even listened to an audio book yet, but everyone seems to love them!
ReplyDeleteGood for you...it is the way to go...I love my Kindle...and love carrying all 400 books around with me in case I can't choose...hee hee hee...
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!! Which e reader did you get? I just got a NOOK for Christmas and havent had a lot of time to use it yet but have purchased two books so far. The one downloaded easy... the other I am having trouble finding... :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Nightshade should be good. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm reading
I hope you enjoy your new ereader (I'm sure you will!). I've got a Kindle and love it :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the new year!
I am sure the ereader will be fantastic for traveling! I've got Indulgence in Death on my stacks too.
ReplyDeleteNightshade is a really good book. I enjoyed reading the ARC of it. I want an e-reader so bad, but with the 300 books I have sitting in my house that I haven't read yet, it just isn't financially smart of me to think about buying one and then having to buy all the books I already have. Although I am considering seeing if I can get any money for all the books I have and see how much that is. If it's enough to buy an e-reader AND books to go on it, it would be worth it.
