I still prefer books to electronic editions.
Take the WSJ at a newspaper even though the elc. edition would arrive cheaper and earlier in the day...

Dead tree books are my favorite, but I won’t buy a higher percentage of ebooks until the price drops. I’ll wait for the margins to thin out a bit :-)

"I still prefer books to electronic editions."

Me too. I buy mostly used books on Amazon, or trade the paperbacks I have for others on a site I discovered earlier this year. It's PaperbackSwap.com for anyone who is interested.

You post your books on the site, then earn a credit for every book someone orders from you. You then use those credits to order books that you want from other people who have posted their books on the site. When mailing a book out to someone, you have the option of buying the postage and optional tracking from the site, or you can purchase the postage when you take the package to the post office. If you use their postage and tracking, once you've marked the book shipped, you get instant credit. The main thing to remember is that you pay for the shipping when you mail the books out, but get the books you order sent to you for free. They are also linked to Amazon.
