A second guest post done by me today:
A few months ago I read an article about the cheapestE-reader to enter the market.
At the time many articles were flying around like this, and the news
was strife on author facebook groups. What astonished me was the sheer
number of authors opposed to this. I for one welcome the idea for
consumers to gain access to free e-readers. For those who think I am
crazy I implore those of you to keep reading in order to see why I am
suggesting this.
We all know that there are three styles of books; hardcover, paperback
or digital. Hardbacks are the most expensive ((AU)$30) while digital are
generally the cheapest((AU)$15). However a kindle can be a significant
investment at about (AU)$119. I’ve heard of some people complain that a
kindle can only last about a year, however I’ll assume that it lasts for
about 2 years. That means without buying any books, an e-reader costs
approximately (AU)$60 a year; the value of two to three physical books.
