The e-book from Borders can be found on eBay for around $50-$60. You can get books fairly cheap for them if you look on the internet. One of my favorite sites is smashwords.com. I too am a huge reader. In the 6 th grade I could read a Stephen King book in about 6 hrs. I ended up getting special testing in reading because I blew through the standard reading placement test in about 15 minutes. They finally came to the conclusion that in the 6th grade my reading and comprehension level was 3rd year college level. No wonder I was so bored in school. I currently have 192 books on my e-reader and read at least one a day. I also have library cards for 4 counties.
