I feel better now, I didn't (quite) break 10.

Glad to have made you feel better, Jo!

I bought that one too, I think you should buy it Paul, it will make me feel better!!
For all those who can remember the seventies and didn't buy enough books yesterday...

Got a kindle for Christmas and I find it difficult to stop buying things! I'm going to have a look at your link even so, Paul!




I was tempted to buy it as I thought The Poisonwood Bible was really good. Unfortunately, I didn't much enjoy The Lacuna, so it's put me off a bit...

Do love getting a Kindle bargain :)


The Crow Road by Iain Banks is the 99p Kindle UK daily deal today. If you have never read it I strongly urge you to pick it up - it is one of my favourite ever books and is just wonderful.

Wasn't for me :( But I bought it anyway :D

Now an ex-friend.

Other bargains are The Shock of the Fall, Big Brother, Mary Berry's autobiography and loads more.
This is the Nook link http://www.nook.com/gb/search?[s]cate... for anyone who has a Nook, but most of these are price-matched by Amazon (although not all, yet).

I do have a Kindle but often use the Kindle App on my ipad because it's lovely and bright when I am reading in duller conditions or inside. You also get the colour of the covers and any illustrations, but I don't on my Kindle as it's only in black and white. Kindle brilliant in the sunshine though, absolutely no glare!
And it all syncs between devices so you can flit from one to the other without any problems.

I am using a LG G 8.3 tablet I got as a pressie from my lovely hubbie a few weeks ago. It's gorgeous, long and slim, perfect for reading books and the good news I don't need to buy more bookshelves.
It makes me laugh, every time I get a bit tired of reading and in need of a rest, I log onto Google and Play and now Kindle :) and buy more books. LOL
Right here goes, yesterday's purchases from Kindle -
Harvest
The Teleportation Accident
The Corrections
Goodbye to All That
Tommy: The British Soldier on the Western Front
The Weaker Vessel
Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality
Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman
Titans of History
Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan
The Complete Works of D.H. Lawrence
I think I need to buy a SD card asap, at this rate.
Lovely. I imagine you can also download an app that will allow you to read non-Kindle books (eg rented ebooks from the library) should you wish to, as well. I'd like to do this sometime but can't really justify spending on a Kobo or whatever yet and our tablet is a bit old, heavy and creaky to carry around.

The Overdrive app is the one you'll need if you want to borrow ebooks/audio books from the library. I use it, and have it on my laptop and my Kindle Fire (can only borrow audio books, not ebooks on that).

If you were looking to replace your tablet, I would recommend my LG G, I love it. It's a mid-range price about £200, but we got the kids Hudl's at xmas, £115. My hubbie is an IT consultant so he did lots of research and the best models for your money. He bought me a Bebook ebook reader a few years ago and now I just use the tablet.
