rent-a-book? - Page 4

But on the other hand is the 50% refund more incentive to actually purchase a book at the airport instead of passing on by the store? And since rebate participation is usually less than 20% or less, is much really lost? Is this any different than selling the book to a second hand bookstore who then re-sells it? Or donating it to a thrift store? What about selling it at a garage sale?

Interesting to think about. Not being an author I hadn't thought about it that way.

My favorite reading spot is in the tubbie. Electronic books are not for me.

I read on the john.
There, I said it.
My book of choice is the Bathroom Reader 19th edition...
But I hear you shouldn't read on the toilet. It gives you hemorrhoids.

If so, you're holding the book wrong.

I hear it has more to do with the length of time people sit on the john while they read...
