How many books do you read more than one time? How much does an average paperback book cost - $8-$10?
Imagine being about to read 20 books for the price of one? Books that you want to read. I have become a huge fan of the public library. I can go online to the Sunnyvale Public Library and select from a huge selection of books. I can reserve a book for $.50. No need to worry about whether the book is checked out or not. Once my book comes in, I get an email notification. Need more than the 3 weeks to finish your book? Simply go online and renew your book.
Seriously, libraries have some of the coolest technology available. Besides reserving a book or renewing a book online, you can also self-service your own check-out. They currently use a bar-code reader, but hopefully our libraries will upgrade to RFID technology so those fussy readers will be less of an issue. I think Amazon is great, but I love my library. I currently have 4 books on hold with Sunnyvale, so I gotta get my read on. I am currently reading "never eat alone" by Keith Ferrazzi. Great book. I actually ordered a few copies from Amazon to give away to some friends. So Amazon is still getting some of my money after all.
