my friend Janet would like this
I am not a fan of reading books on a device.
Too expensive for me and I prefer real books!
Price is too high.
Not for me. I prefer real books.
I would not be interested in this service.
I love books & read anything & everything but I love the smell & feel of a newly published book so this isn’t for me. Sorry.
Too expensive but an interesting idea.
My daughter would love this!
I think that it is a great idea, but a little costly!
I’m not fond of reading books digitally… but I know that it would work splendidly for many others!
This would be great for my mom
Interesting, but expensive.
I’d like it better if it were hard copy books that were delivered, or if you had the option of a hard copy subscription. There are some amazing e-books that have never made it to hard copy print though.
Good for some but not for me.
