Too many wonderful possibilities. Which means for me, if I'm going to read, it's going to be ones I paid for first. I try to be much more selective (and realistic) about whither or not I will actually read a book before downloading a free one. <br /><br />So sorry about your mother and hope you are doing okay now.Lisa Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358581487206184033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-62544968854577480262012-09-14T14:13:02.501-07:002012-09-14T14:13:02.501-07:00I do use my kindle more than before and I do get a...I do use my kindle more than before and I do get alot of free books but I hardly ever read the free books. I got to the point is it really a bargin if I will never read it. I do find there are books I will buy on the kindle and recently got a couple cheaper that I really want. I am so behind in my reading its not funny. since being sick then mum passing away it takes forever to read a book.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-57530336329355672182012-09-13T04:46:28.188-07:002012-09-13T04:46:28.188-07:00You are right that things are changing and changin...You are right that things are changing and changing quickly. I'm wondering how many of the free books you buy you actually read? I've had to start downloading only books that I am fairly certain I will enjoy (favorite genre, etc) because there are so many and even then I've yet to read most of them. <br /><br />I buy books from certain authors or series that I love and those are the one's (the one's I've paid for) that I know I will read. It's great to have so many choices, but I'm also always behind in my reading.

M...This poll may need to be updated from last year. Many authors are offering their e-book for one day free to get their ratings on Amazon up. I am friends with many authors on my FB page. They announce the free download of not only their books but friends as well.. I download and send the offer out to my friends. I do book reviews as well. I download more free e-books than I buy. <br />Probably a 20 to 1 ratio. The free e-books can lead me to a new author and I may purchase another e-book of that author or purchase a favorite paperback for a friend. I still buy some books but I no longer have the bookshelf space I once had. My Kindle goes with me everywhere.<br />Cindy HuffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-65793088103876319422012-09-12T13:36:46.606-07:002012-09-12T13:36:46.606-07:00Didn't go to the poll as I don't read E bo...Didn't go to the poll as I don't read E books and don't have an E reader.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217918666756258037noreply@blogger.com
