I just ordered 4 books and I screwed up! I bought paperbacks! I kept trying to download them and finally went back and looked and I paid for paperbacks! They are coming in the mail! I tried to cancel the order but the stupid store refused. They said it had already gone to processing so now I have to wait until Friday AND I have to turn the pages! And use a book mark! And everything....
At least you can do it. I have all but given up on books. Mostly because I read so much information and articles. But partly because it seems I have attention span of a gnat when it comes to books.
Why won't the store take them back? Do they not have a return policy? If you send them back in the exact condition they came in I don't see why they can't reimburse you and then you can get the e-book versions you wanted.
It was barnes and noble and they said if there isn't a cancel button then it's too late and they won't cancel. I can return them - yes but now I have to wait until they arrive in the mail and then either run to the post office or drive to the local bookstore to (half hour) to return them. That's what I get for not paying attention....
I tried to do it online then I did the "chat" button then I called the number and did the chat button again. Now I will read... paper books. Sigh.
I just clicked on Kindle. I had notifications. Revisit the books you read in 2018 and see how many you can this year. Revisit the books you read in 2019 and see how many you can this year.
I love seeing books on shelves but tend to mostly just listen to them on Audible these days!
It makes boring barn work so much better.
I've only bought one audible book that I disliked and gave up on after half an hour. I gave the book a negative review and they let me have a free book to replace it.
Talking about 1st world problems, my husband came back from a trip grumpy. Why, you ask? His business class seat was too big and he couldn’t hear what the appetizers were when the resident chef listed them and he had to ask him to repeat and my husband still couldn’t hear him so he didn’t get any.
Yup.
I was flabbergasted. We don’t come from (any) money. I have no idea how he managed to get THAT spoiled.
I just laughed and laughed and got on his poop list as well, along with the chef and the airline.
I like paperbacks, but now that I'm used to reading on the kindle, i miss the highlight feature the kindle has. I never wanted to mark any of my books.
I love books, and I love to read but I refuse to read eBook type things. I prefer hardbound but I have paperbacks too. I have large book shelves packed full of hundreds of books in my living room. I have a bunch in boxes too because I need to buy or build another set of large wood bookshelves and I haven't got around to it yet.
Urgh! That's annoying but sure does put things into perspective.
I happen to prefer a physical book (paper or hardcover) as opposed to the E-Readers. I've owned a few Kindles and while I love the options to be able to play games and read it just makes me feel like I'm using a large phone that can't make calls. Plus, I do a lot of outdoor reading and the glare from the sun is just terrible!
When I retired I gave a lot of my books to a charity shop. It was quite amusing, cold day, no parking near the shop so I did stop on the double yellow lines outside.
I carried one not so heavy box of books inside and asked the elderly lady if I might prop the door open as I had several more to bring in. She said she would help me.
When she saw the whole back of my Shogun packed solid, she rushed back and propped the door open. Can't recall how many boxes I had but it was a lot.
I prefer paper books myself. Always have and always will. That said I do have a Kindle paper-white that was given to me as a gift. I do like the Kindle for traveling because it can hold so many books and takes up so little space. But at home I like reals books.
I do not and have not had any type of E-reader. My favorite time to read is while soaking in the tub and I just know I'd drop the dang thing in the water first thing and it would be ruined.
