I got a kindle.
Admittedly, I was anti-ebook after my bad experience with the kindle app. However, to save my back I got a kindle and it's fantastic.
It's easy to use and works out how long it will take you to finish a book.
How amazing is this case? I got it here.

The London Review Bookshop
The London Review Bookshop is situated in Holborn with about a two minute walk to Holborn tube station. It has a small cafe with really good treacle tart and it has two storeys of books covering the walls from head to toe. It has signed editions of new books that you've always wanted to try as well as really interesting books on display that aren't always sold in Waterstones. The fiction is superb, the signed editions are amazing and the sales assistants are friendly. I would really recommend this for anyone especially those with an interest in History and Politics as that section is huge.

Sophie's Stacking the Shelves on a Budget
This haul is the haul that I have been able to save most money on so far.
1. The Runaway Princess by Hester Brown
RRP: £10.75 BD: £9.27 I got it for: £0
I won this in an online competition.
2. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
RRP: £16.99 BD: £12.75 I got it for: £8.49
I went to The Last Bookshop and bought two books.
3. Player One by Douglas Coupland
RRP: £7.99 BD: £7.26 I got it for: £2.00
4. New York at Night by Jason Hawkes and Christopher Gray
RRP: £25.00 Amazon: £19.87 I got it for: £2.00
Overall I spent £12.49 on four books, which averages at £3.12 each.
If I had bought these at RRP I would have spent £60.73 so I saved £48.24. This means I saved 79%.
If I had bought these online at the book depository and amazon I would have spend £49.15 so I saved £36.66. This means I saved 75%.
