I started reading it at my cousins house, we were on vacation and I was bored. Only problem was even if I can read a book in a few hours, I couldn´t read it in 2 and this one book was from her school´s library. I live in Mexico and I´m 13, books over here cost about 400 pesos or $40 dollars, obviously I can´t afford them and even if I worked at my age all I would make would be about $10 dollars a day (if i´m lucky). I still love having my books at home and on paper, but if I can´t afford them I read them online. There are some russian sites I visit to get them for free (althought I don´t understand russian the titles are still in their original language), but they don´t always have the book I´m looking for so its a relief to find them to be free and in the internet with permission of the author. Thanks (sorry for long comment and bad english, It is not my native language) I´ts one of the best books I´ve ever read. I started reading it at my cousins house, we were on vacation and I was bored.

I have a Nook and don't exactly "buy" books on it. In fact, I've never purchased an actual/eBook in my life (unless it was a gift card, of course) It's not that I don't believe in buying books. I'm 17 and jobless - I just don't have the money. I love books with real paper, though I don't think eReaders could ever replace real books. See, ever since I was 4 or 5, I've been going to the library. I check out books and read them. Once I finish, I return them. If I like them, I'll check them out again. But I usually never bother. There's something... odd to me about reading a book more than once or twice. I don't have time to re-read. Even if it's good - there's other books to read, and so little time! I guess my point is that I never had the intent on purchasing the books anyways, so why deprive myself of the opportunity to read them when given the chance? It's not that I would go to a store and steal stuff, but I'm a teenager - I'm naturally inclined to steal stuff if I'm not going to get caught! :) Anyways, I read this book (the eBook, that is) and absolutely loved it. I really applaud you for what you're doing - having, most of all, the courage to keep up with the times. The future is now, and I think people are still living in the past, with old ideas. The future, as well as the present... are always changing, and that's what I love about science fiction! I completely agree with you. I have a Nook and don't exactly "buy" books on it.

But I had to leave a comment, because I also saw Star Wars when I was six, when it first came out in Memphis, on a school field trip. And the next thing I did was rewrite it as a play. Kleebits and ... I can't remember the other character's name. Brings me right back. I'm researching a presentation on why trainers should use Creative Commons, which brought me here.
