Roll Up for my lyrics book!”
Paul McCartney’s opus ‘Lyrics 1955-Present’ is a Kindle Daily Deal today, for the fab sum of 99p.
Thumbs aloft, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Bought. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Thank you. I have the hardback but apparently the paperback had some extra stuff, hopefully this matches that.
* and always bear in mind that you don’t really own the Kindle book, Amazon can delete it or make it unreadable any time they like
For 99p, it’s probably worth the risk (assuming one already has the kit, of course…)
Yes I won’t pay more
Eezy peezy to make your Kindle secure from Amazon
Possible but not necessarily easy, and I think they have made it harder
It really is easy…
Has anyone bought an ebook and subsequently had it deleted/rendered unreadable?
You purchase a licence to read the book not the book itself.
If Amazon subsequently stops selling it and you haven’t a backup copy you may not be able to get it back.
Check all the conditions that of course nobody reads
I read all my kindle books once and never read them again or have use of them. I am not troubled. I guess I am a weirdo in AF circles. If I want to own a book I will look at again for reference, or because of illustrations, I will get a print copy.
This is about recorded music, surprise, surprise but it amounts to the same thing as regards to owning a product rather than ‘renting’.
Personally I do both with music and books. The ‘renting’ is primarily about convenience and physical space. Owning a product has a certain amount of emotion attached to it and if I love something enough I want to own a copy.
I wouldn’t pay more for it in any format…
Good to know
Yes, I imagine it is.
I have the hardback books, think I’ll sell them cheap to make room on thee shelves and buy this.
I rolled up a day late
I suspect the ‘owning’ of a physical product may become an increasingly good option in the years to come.
Is it, though? Are your/our children going to keep all the masses of stuff we’ve accumulated over the decades when we leave the stage? I rather think not.
A further Kindle bargain klaxon today, with 90 minutes left – Guitar, the autobiography of Earl Slick.
