I think they should bundle them where if you buy the hardcover you get the electronic access too.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The Kindle Paperwhite pushed me over to preferring my e-reader to an actual book.
About a year ago I misplaced my Paperwhite and ended up getting a Voyager (which is better, but probably not worth the extra cost). Naturally, I found my Paperwhite the day after I got the Voyager. But that turned out to be awesome because my MIL recently complained about not being able to read any Kindle books since using her tablet at night kept her for falling asleep. I gave her the Paperwhite and now she can read at night again.

Sometimes that happens. Frequently there's a deal where if you get the hardcover you can get the electronic for a nominal charge, like a buck. Audiobooks also get bundled like that, but they are still more like $7.

I was reading the Coroner's Daughter on an library e-book loan, and it was really good! But it just expired and I haven't finished! I am on the waiting list again! It is good that it is so popular! But I want to finish!

Looking for family-friendly book recs for our long car trip next week. 10 year-old wants sci-fi, 6 year-old loves dragons and robots. The obvious candidate is Pern but I don't love the narration on the samples I've listened to so far. It's a 16-hour drive, so multi-book series are welcome!

What about A Wizard of Earthsea, Jesse? It's not sf, but it's pretty great.

The Spidewick Chronicles are good audiobooks.

Sophia, I've learned that if you're reading on a Kindle and put it into airplane mode, ebooks don't expire until you turn airplane mode back off. Of course you can't get any new books, but it's a good way to finish a book that is expiring. Not really viable for tablets and phones, alas.
