I use it when I decide to take a temp job instead in doing the book biz. So I haven't started to really buy the ebooks. I usually just get the ones that are in the free library that Baen has. I just recently go a free one from Del Ray ( I think) but then hubby went out of town for a month and took the Palm with him. I like having paper copies around. The feel and sight of a book is so nice (to me at least). Besides how are my friends going to see what I am reading if it is all in electronic format. ;-) Glennis From holly.lisle@sff.net Wed Jul 24 23:21:11 2002 From: holly.lisle@sff.net (holly.lisle@sff.net) Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 18:21:11 -0400 Subject: [Holly-L] rent a book???

BooksFree seems like a good idea to me. Basically a subscription library -- I think Colonial America had such things. I'm happy when anyone wants to read my books. If they like the ones they borrow enough, maybe they'll buy a few. As for e-books, I download classics and other freebies that I wouldn't want to pay hardcover or trade paperback prices for, but my strong preference is for real books. And my strongest preference is to own the books I read. Goes back to a somewhat difficult childhood.
