I get most of them free from a library where I still have a card that checks out e-books, and some from free or very low cost Kindle purchases. For the most part, I am like you, though. <br /> I love real books! I get most of my hard copy books from used book exchanges at campgrounds and from Little Free Libraries around the US as we travel. I usually have one hard copy book and one e-book going at the same time, since I love to read. The thing I like most about an e-reader is that I am reading a few series, and I can't always get the books in order when I shop used book exchanges or even used book shops. So, each serves the purpose!

Today isn't looking quite as good though.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41153603932675904832018-10-23T11:35:08.385-04:002018-10-23T11:35:08.385-04:00Kevin has an Android phone but he wouldn't wan...Kevin has an Android phone but he wouldn't want to read a book on it and neither one of us has a tablet. We like the old fashioned books, which we usually just do book swaps for so we hardly ever buy books and definitely never buy new ones.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-2499757991653681472018-10-22T21:04:24.968-04:002018-10-22T21:04:24.968-04:00Kevin, you are so tall.

I envy you, not seeing you on the picture though is not so good. <br />We hope you still have good weather to see the views on the Olympic Peninsula. On the other hand, if it rains, that matches the landscape > Rainforest. The round trip is still on my bucket list.

There are also a ton of free books available through the Kindle store. I've only rarely paid over $3.99 for a book as they are always putting them on sale for < $3.99 and adding freebies. I love having this option while traveling!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-72482740269443988472018-10-22T12:13:36.359-04:002018-10-22T12:13:36.359-04:00It was just funny because I think it was the first...It was just funny because I think it was the first time ever that they asked about firewood and not firearms, or even about cannabis which is now legal in Canada!
