Kindle Book Prices

[Nancy Platinum Contributor Find all posts View Profile Close Nancy]

I've been a Kindle user (have had several different models) almost as long as they have been out. I probably have enough books loaded on mine to last my lifetime. Recently the books I've wanted to purchase have been very pricey - $12.99 or so. I don't think this is a bargain for using my Kindle. Checked my local library and book is available to check out for free. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just looking for the wrong books?

Still love my Kindle, just not book prices.

My wife has a Kindle, but she almost always reads books in the print format. She and my sister in law are always exchanging books in the print format- so it also is free.

Prime I believe still get free books, I myself rarely read a book, I can never get past 5 pages without falling asleep

My cousin is a librarian and when I was visiting she said she gets all her books free from the library. She gets the new ones by getting on a list. Free.

Same problem here - last book I read without nodding off was "never cry wolf". Try it - it will keep you awake.

I am prime. Just felt prices are getting higher. I've also noticed not as many paperbacks as before. They've gotten bigger and pricier.

I just got a kindle and I can't even figure out how to use it properly. I went to the free books and Im disappointed at the selection.
