I pay for amazon prime once a year at $99... it used to be $75 but they raised it.
It allows me to download books for free, and the sequels at discounted prices. I usually read the first one or two that are free to test the waters of the author, and judge if I like their style or not. If I do, I will usually download the first two books at .99 and 1.99 (or 2.99), then that ends it.
I also get some free movies and TV shows if I like.
At current I have about 60 books on my tablet... 30 of which I downloaded last week. I have gone through about 7 already.
I have often thought of trying to be one of those who read books and records them. I am going to look into it on my return from Illinois next weekend. Little busy this week... family things to attend to....
P.S.
I usually download Sci-Fi or Sci-Fi Fantasy and a little Fantasy...
Some Fiction, but not a lot..... Old Sci-Fi movies are really fun to watch.. mainly because they are free
