I'm reading mostly on Kindle. So when I'm interested in a book, I don't buy it right away, I "send a free sample" to my Kindle. This way I at least save money. And the pile of samples in my Kindle serves as a to-read list. I only buy a book I fully read the sample and still want to read it.
One of the downsides of piling unread books for me is that later when I return to a book I feel like it's "old news". I have better chances to read a book when I first encounter it.
- WorldMaker 8y agoSimilar to that, I had a bad habit of buying whole series at a time, before the kindle era, because you never knew once a series would grip you how fast you'd want to read it all quickly or vice versa where you might want days/months between volumes to palate cleanse. The kindle makes it so easy now at the end of a book to buy the next book in the series that I try to only buy one book at a time in a series, only buying the next when I'm ready to start it.
