Do you ever read books in the public domain? These are books that are now old enough to be free (unless the author took certain steps to prevent this from happening). You can access such books online at places like Project Gutenberg. Sometimes I enjoy not paying for books. I'm currently reading Etiquette by Emily Post on audio, through Librivox. So even audiobooks can be free. And as other audiobook readers know, usually they're quite expensive. So will you read these free books or do you not mind paying for books you'd rather read?

I received a Kindle for Christmas and have downloaded over 60 public domain titles

Oh that is awesome! So you can download public domain titles for free on it? I really want one of those.

yes, and you can carry hundreds of books in one little device that weighs less than a pound

That is so awesome! Okay, now I have to get one. I also like it because normally I have to pay extra to get large print books, but apparently on the Kindle it's just a setting. I guess I will have to start saving some money.
