Book Shopping w/ a Kindle DX at Costco

A book might catch a Kindle owner's eye at Costco, but before she leaves the shelf she's downloaded a sample of it onto her Kindle DX and discovered she can buy it for about 30% less.

I find it ironic standing in front of a bunch of books and downloading said book on an e-reader, when to get a preview of the book you can just open the book in front of you and read it. No wait to download. No typing in the title of the book incredibly slow on an awkward keyboard. And as someone already said you have already locked yourself into buying books on your e-reader simply because you already bought the e-reader. Just feels like a misuse of the technology to me.

A sample?! The whole thing is right there! How about opening the book that is sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU LOON!? What have we become?!

You can re download it to your Kindle as many times as you like.

Let's see how much savings you'll need until you balance out the 450$ for the Kindle DX itself... at which point you'll probably brake it or spill some coffee on it... If u buy a book u buy something physical.. a file has no physical value of course you'll pay less for it... just be careful not to delete it.. this is dumb
