I see. How do you like your e-reader? I've been thinking about getting one myself for convenience sake.ValBookReviews wrote: โ27 May 2018, 21:10Yes, once I download via Kindle Reader.ianbuchanan wrote: โ26 Apr 2018, 18:24Awesome!

Yes, indeed it is! No less than one week and no more than two.

Cool! Thanks for sharing! Do you ever order print books online so you don't have to make the burdensome trip to the bookstore? Also, just curious, all things equal, do you like e-books or print books more?BoundlessLaughter wrote: โ28 May 2018, 02:15 I also get most of my reading material online. Which is really a very effective way since it's easy to search and download books compared to going all the way to the store to buy them. However, I do love the feel of the paper in the fingertips. So whenever I can I go to bookstores and purchase hardcopies of my favorite ebooks. I am now a collector of out of print Star Trek TOS books.

Also, are e-book prices on par with print book prices in your experience? Or do they differ?ianbuchanan wrote: โ30 May 2018, 17:01Awesome!

However, despite buying the comic books for Kindle, I used Kindle for PC to read them. I don't like actually reading comic books on the Kindle. It's really difficult. But Kindle PC is perfect for comics. You just have to read them in full screen mode. So not only can you read books on Kindle and in paperback or hardback, you can also use the computer. I have used Kindle to read things, but if the material is digital, I would much rather view it on the PC.

Thanks for sharing your experience! So overall, Kindle e-books are more expensive than their print counterparts? And interesting point about Kindle PC, I actually didn't know that really existed, seems that comic books would be the perfect use for it though!RabidFox wrote: โ30 May 2018, 17:45 In my experience, Kindle can be significantly cheaper than the physical version. I bought the entire comic book collection of Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm for Kindle, which ended up being a whole lot cheaper than buying them in the physical format. Kindle was just two bucks for each issue. Otherwise, it's considerably more expensive. Another problem was that Amazon didn't have every issue in the physical version, so that I couldn't have got them any other way regardless. Sometimes, you don't even have a choice.

I'm sorry, I think that you misunderstood me. What I said was that Kindle tends to be less expensive than print. Or at least, in my experience that has been true.ianbuchanan wrote: โ01 Jun 2018, 08:45Thanks for sharing your experience! So overall, Kindle e-books are more expensive than their print counterparts?

Oh, I see, thanks for clearing that up. How long have you had your Kindle?RabidFox wrote: โ01 Jun 2018, 14:44I'm sorry, I think that you misunderstood me.

I bought my Kindle Fire in 2012, so well over five years. However, I have not used it much. But I do use Amazon all the time, and they always have the Kindle version of the book listed alongside the physical version. So I'm used to seeing both prices.ianbuchanan wrote: โ01 Jun 2018, 15:34Oh, I see, thanks for clearing that up.
