Why should I get a Kindle or Nook?


I have been thinking about getting one. My wife says I have too many books but I am addicted to reading and I have to have more and more books all the time.

However, I was looking at Kindle and Nook books available on Amazon and B&N and unless you want to read cruddy self-published junk or ancient public-domain books or re-issues of 70s pulp novels you have to spend about ten plus bucks per book. I would have a very hard time paying that much for an electronic file. I could buy a whole bunch of used paperbacks for that price.

So far the only advantage of a Kindle or Nook I can see is the space advantage of having so many books on your device. But if they cost that much, it seems like the device won't be worthwhile.

What are some other good points of the Kindle and Nook?

Barnes and Nobles job descriptions?


Im looking to apply to barnes and nobles, love that store lol. Im either looking at Bookkeeper or Head Cashier. I've read their despcriptions but I was looking for a description of more so what their average day at work is.
I don't really understand what a bookkeeper is doing, and where they are most of the time. Are they freely walking around? Are they behind a desk at the book look up cpu? Are they stacking bks? Do they get trained to learn a section?
And for a cashier… From my experience working in retail i hate doing returns and such. I know a book store would be easier than clothes, but is it hard? Are you telling a manager everytime you need to do a return or exchange?

Thanks!(:

Where and how can I sell an ebook that I wrote and will Amazon let me sell it online?


I have written things for Fiverr and sites like that, but people just do the typical saying they like it over my inbox then zapping me with negative feedback out of no where. Can I sell an ebook on amazon for instance? Please post links to other reputable sites you know of, if any, for selling ebooks. Can someone please help me with all of this? Where to go?
Added (1). UPDATE: Okay, typing on my smartphone doesn't count as punctuation when auto correct fails for ability to spell. Second, I never said I wanted to compete with all 100% of books worldwide, in all categories, did I? I just said upload it. As far as the Amazon part goes, just ignore it then please. I wasn't focusing on if you can sell a "book" on Amazon overall, but rather just mentioned it since I've never done it with an ebook. Wow, I had no idea the commenter "?" took this so personal.

Can I exchange a book at Barnes and Noble?


I bought a book online at Barnes and Noble and I thought I ordered the Barnes and Noble exclusive one But I didn't. I was wondering if I could exchange it at the store for the right one? Even though the online price was cheaper.

A stranger claims to know me? What to do?


A man walked up to me and pretended to know me. He talked while walking next to me for about a block on Union Square. I can't remember since this was a few months ago but he pretended that we hung out somewhere. When I said "Sorry I don't know you," or something similar to try to leave, I turned the block and walked away. I thought he might just be crazy or that he mistook me for another girl. He then ran up to me and tried to convince me that I knew him. I said nothing this time and just glanced at him. He got angry and aggressive, saying things about how I looked like I wanted to kill him. He had a friend along with him who told him to forget it since the girl didn't remember. I walked away really quickly and looked back to make sure that he didn't continue to follow me. I went into a close by Barnes&Noble to pick up a textbook and saw him again. He didn't see me but I ran out of that bookstore. I didn't want him yelling at me again.

Then a few weeks later he came up to me again and asked if I remembered him. I again stayed silent and just kept walking. This time I called the police. Two officers came but didn't take my statement because I didn't know his name. They told me that if he approached me a third time, take a photo, and they would be able to do something.
And then last week, he came up to me again. I forgot to take his photo because I was too focused on trying to speed walk away from him.
What should I do? I take Tae Kwon Do but I'm not sure if I can fight him.
