(Entry made by another person)

This is not true. I have more then 160 books on my Kindle and haven't paid anything for more then a dozen of them. Only a couple have I paid $7-$9 for, a number for 99 cents but the majority were free.

I keep my eye open on Amazon for books being offered for free for a short time. Later on if I look at them their price is considerably more. Just short time offerings to get interest going in an author or book.

PLUS Amazon, for one site, has many free older books. You can 'search' for "Kindle freebies" and find many books. PLUS, as I've noted in another post, the "Library of Congress" has many books that can be downloaded in several formats as well as downloading to Kindle. I've gotten several books from there, too.

There's a number of sites with free or low cost e-books.

I've had a Kindle for a year now and still think it's the most fantastic thing I own. I have a Kindle2 hubby bought me for Christmas last year and I bought a K3 when they came out just because the price had dropped so much and I liked being able to download 3500 books rather then "ONLY" 1500 (hahahaha). I 'loaned' my K2 to hubby and he's reading more then ever. We even turn off TV now to enjoy an evening of reading!

Don't know which e-reader is "best" because Kindle is all I've seen but I sure do love it!

When reading, you can highlight a part of the text, and this will save it to your clippings.

In order to do so, move your 5-way-controller (the little protruding square button thingy in the lower-right part of the Kindle) so that the cursor is at the beginning of the text you want to highlight. Then click on the 5-way controller and move it to the right. You'll notice the text will be highlighted. When you've reached the end of the excerpt you want to save, click the controller again. The text will have been underlined.

Which is better Kindle Fire or NOOK Tablet?

There are many differernce facets about the Nook and Kindle that have to be examined and anyone can put together an argument as to which is better for them. The pricing of the Kindle is a little less than the Nook, however the Nook Tablet has 1 GB of memory versus the Kindle which has only 512 MB. The Kindle is better if you want to purchase exclusively from Amazon, but the Nook is better if you are looking for a more universal experience. I have to recommend the Nook Tablet from my research and from everyone I talk to who has the Fire or Nook. I have placed a "Related Link" with more information from PC World.
