Great haul, but in todays economy, this boggles my mind! BTW I notice you are in Wisconsin - have you ever been to Caslte Arkdale? http://biblioarchy.blogspot.com/2008/08 ... kdale.html

Book Shopping Today (2011 edition)
Erm, the kindle landed today. I'm afraid I've been to the free Dumas downloads and made a bit of a pig of myself

Next time we have lunch or book shopping (though who knows when that'll be!), you'll have to bring it and let me see what the fuss is about

I can do that. I never would have caved but 1) I got that GC from Ammy for participating in the ABNA stuff and 2) all those free downloads of classics. Woohoo.

You'll love it! Especially when you don't have to wait for a book to be shipped to you.

It is cool. There's one Dumas I want to read (Mary Stuart), but there's a charge and four different editions and I'm sampling to see if I'll find translation issues or not. I like that.

I could use Kindle on my Ipod but it's too small for me to really enjoy it. I still want an Ipad, but only if those prices come down! Grr!

No, but now I want to.
Actually drove through Arkdale once, it's a lovely little town. They put flower baskets on all the lamp posts.

You can also get public domain stuff from http://www.gutenberg.org for free, though it does require a few extra steps to download instead of Amazon's one-click system. Here's Mary Stuart (in English), though I don't know what the formatting is like: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2744
