Do you love books?
Do you love books so much that you’d buy a kindle and sell your kindle for a stack of books? Yeah I thought not…
But just in-case your thinking about giving up on your kindle. Microcosm Publishing will take your bet.
I think its all stupid but to be fair Microcosm must have knew it was going to get there name in almost every news site and blog. So to be fair to them, good on them. I wonder how many people have taken up there offer. Although I think the swap is for new books, so its hardly cost effective but then again a 2nd hand kindle can’t be worth that much, can it?
Its also worth noting that Amazon ebooks outsold Hardbooks…
E-books have hit a significant milestone. In each of the last three months, Amazon reports that sales of books for Kindle have outpaced the sale of hardcover books, and that growth is only accelerating.
…and Paperbacks just recently
The ebook revolution has swept past two more milestones in its ferocious advance upon the bastions of literary culture. As the Man Booker prize embraces the digital era, the online retail giant Amazon has announced that sales of Kindle editions have overtaken paperbacks in the US.
