Most of the books I’ve been getting (and I really like this characteristic of my library, by the way in which) - are newer books - I’m on a waiting record to get them in the first place, and then if I don’t end them, I've to return to the end of the road again. I do have a cheat - I can flip off my wi-fi (esp on my older Kindle which is Just for studying) and keep them as long as I wish to. That is an argument I have mentioned within the Kindle boards on Amazon and apparently no one is harm by doing it (except perhaps the writer within the off chance I'd decide to buy the book as a substitute of going to the back of the road) - the subsequent individual in line nonetheless gets it, if I perceive correctly. But after all older books probably aren’t as accessible for e-readers. Hmmmm. I wonder about that. I’m going to go experiment.
