There are no free services available that give you such a huge selections of books &#8211; including best sellers<\/p>\n<p>If you read several books a month or more, you probably spend more than $8.99 a month on books. Paperbacks sell for $6 and up and new hardcover books sell for $25 and up &#8211; at least here in our neck of the woods. We&#8217;re testing a service (so far, so good!) where you can download and read unlimited books, including new books and bestsellers for around $9 a month &#8211; or about the price of one paperback and a cheap cup of coffee. Maybe this sounds so good to us because we sometimes read six or seven books a month. Do the math. Even if we bought digital books on sale at Amazon for $2.99 we&#8217;d be spending at least $18 a month at that rate &#8212; and new books and best sellers are more than $2.99.<\/p>\n<p>We could wax on forever about our love for books, and we know many of you love books too; that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re featuring something today that is not free, but well worth the price &#8211; if you love to read, that is.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s not beat around the bush anymore.
