A nice little corner tucked away for reading

[vocalneal]

Many books are available as e-books with torrents. Listed by author or title. Even have audio books.

I want to sign up with kindle unlimited too, but they don't take paypal payments poooohwee to you Amazon.

Perhaps you can buy an amazom giftcard and use that.

I love kindle umlimited. (Though quality is variable)

True. Often bundled. New York Times beat seller list is a good source.

KW, I just grab all the freebies from Amazon & my brother who is way more techie than me sends cards full of books.
The gift card option doesn't seem to be useable for the unlimited.

 

[William King]

Oh. I see.

Again if you want some books emailed to you B.A. Let me have author name and I can see what I can do for you.
Of course all books will have been paid in full (hard to say that with a straight face)

B-A. What about audio books? Then one can fall asleep in the chair without the actual book.

I have friends with Kindle's but they never tell me about going to the beach and leaving the Kindle on a deck chair while they go for a swim

I just can't get into audiobooks. In the same way I can't stand telly.

Reading is about curling up all quiet & letting my imagination do its thing-
If I do buy audio books- I have to trawl through the narrators first to see whose voice doesn't drive me crazy.
& those who fit the category are few & far between.

This is true.

So glad I am not alone in that, I though I was just an anal weirdo

Edit- typos,

Now dont give audio books a bad rap. I used to listen to them all the time when I was in the states. I had a hour and half commute one way and tried reading while I drove , but found out that was frown on. If the narrator was good and the book was good my wife would find me in the drive way listening to the story till I would find a good place to stop.

They don't take the place of books but in certain situations they are great. I'm not sure the name of the narrator for all of Steve kings books were but he was great ( 5 years ago he died so not the new Steve king books). Listen to all the dark tower books.

Audio books work well on long haul flights. Fell asleep listing to Pepys Dairies "And so to bed".

I thought I was the only person on the forum that knew what Viz was - I used to get it when it was new, loved it "tits ooot"
As for Mayfair - maybe about 35 years ago.

Did you call my pint a puff?
