E-Reading

I am an avid reader. So much so my boyfriend has gotten me an E-Reader, as my books far out number the space on my bookshelves.

I didn't think I would like the E-Reading World, as I am a fan of books in every shape and size. I will buy a book based solely on the fact that I like the paper it was published on. I can do this as I will read pretty much any book, even really badly written ones.

But the E-Reader does have it's perks. I like the fact that I currently own 70+ books and they are all available in one shot. I also like that it tells me the percent I have completed reading (always like to know how much is left in a book).

However tonight I've discovered a serious Pet Peeve. I've gotten an email from the E-Reader company, giving me $1 off my next purchase. However in the fine print (which I've gone to double check what the deal was), it seems that this excludes a load of publishers, which all happen to be the publishers of the books I want.

I discovered this after looking up 10 authors I'm currently following in series, and each time was given a big "NO-NO" on using the coupon. Pet Peeve has kicked in.

So now I have $1 coupon for a book, but no books I can find to spend it on that I want. Now I've hit a serious dilemma, do I use the coupon for the sake of saving $$ on a book I'm only sort of interested in, and add to my collection. Or do I let it go to waste?
