I have absolutely no criticism of Amazon's customer service department. I haven't had to return anything, but they were fantastic about crediting my credit card for the cost of the unlighted Kindle cover and then giving me a $25 credit on the lighted cover when I complained that my Kindle was rebooting and acting strangely. Whenever I decide to buy something that costs more than a few dollars I always check Amazon to see if they offer a better deal. They usually do. Is Amazon actually doing the transcription of books, or is it the publisher? Also, from my reading on line, the blame for the high price of books is placed on the publisher and not Amazon--however, I don't know whom to believe about that. I do read a chapter before I buy, but sometimes I want to read a particular book and download a book with typos. Another problem I have with free or 99 cent books is they are often a previously unpublished author's first book, and may be rather poorly written. Please, don't criticize me for saying this because I have a friend who published her first book cheaply and the book is extremely well written. I spend a lot of time searching for an author or title that interests me, is inexpensive, and is of sufficient quality that I do purchase it. I guess that in our world of astounding technology I expect transcriptions to be as good as the hard copy original. I will check out the links mentioned to see if I find a group that may point me toward better books that are, I hope, more affordable. Nancy

Thanks, Raven. I got the free one and bought the other 2 for $.99 each. I really like books that are a series, because sometimes I like the characters in a book and am sorry when I have finished it.

I own two Kindles and DH has one. Before the Kindles DH stopped reading much due to the his older eyes. He used to read a lot. Now he enjoys reading again. I still read both paper and Ebooks but now prefer the Ebooks also. At some point eyes tire easily as we age even with reading glasses. Not so with the Kindle. Love my Paperwhite, even in a dark room. I've decided to stop buying books as long as I can get them as Ebooks. Been getting rid of all the old paperbacks around here. Giving a few to friends, donating a few to the library but most are going directly into the recycling bin. The only books I really want to keep are those out of print, those with illustrations and children's books.

I joined Book Bub a long time ago and never quite figured it out. I've looked at the books they suggest and then I get an email asking if I bought it. Need to look into it again. Cyn, I thought reading on a device would be horrid, but the Signature Kindle is a wonder. I took pictures earlier. Kindle Signature book cover, looks like leather and it's lined in felt so I can fold it open like a paper book, and amost the size of a paperback. Happily surprised when I logged into my account, K opened up to so many books in the genre I read that I never heard about. First book was a winner, now I'm on book two:
