Things I am struggling with today

I am struggling with two things today.

The first is an awkward macro.

The second is why I would buy a Kindle when Kindle books appear to cost more than their paperback equivalent.

There's a lot of "free". Everything out of copyright, for a start. And most of the commercial stuff I've bought has been on some kind of offer, or unavailable elsewhere. When Surface Detail came out it was half the price of the hardback (or less) and the same went for the latest Pratchett. Plus, there's a whole lot of stuff coming out which is in copyright but out of print, especially SF.

Aye - I bumped into some of the free stuff after I'd posted.

I suppose the correct comparison is kindle price vs hardback price for new releases rather than kindle price vs expected paper back price.

Out of print stuff is also a good shout.

Cheers. (hope you're work load is not so bad soon)
