I want lots of copies of #MonsterousRegiment & #FeetOfClay by #TerryPratchett to hand out for my local #Pride - and I can only afford cheap #UsedPaperbacks

Debating (internally) whether I can/should buy myself a new gadget - an #eReader.

Specifically looking at the #Kobo Clara 2E, which people seem to speak highly of. I like that it is more open than the kindle, and the fact that it is #notAmazon is a plus.

My concerns are mostly about how well it will suffice for my reading needs. I read a lot - often 2-3 books a week, and many of those books are not available as ebooks in Libby. Not ready to sign up for a Kobo subscription but maybe someday.

Anybody looking to buy books to be delivered in Northern Ireland (or anywhere else I suppose!) from an independent bookshop - I can highly recommend Bridge Books in Dromore.

Or go in person, it's a jewel box of a shop. Small but crammed with wonderful books.

The owner, Lesley is lovely and very, very helpful.

#NotAmazon

Orca Books has information on how to join and they sell on-line. You don't have to live in Olympia WA. (http://www.orcabooks.com). There are three non-worker options (basic: US$100, Low income US$25-US$99, Organization: US$200). Organizational members need to be part of the social economy and will eventually be able to "curate" and "brand" a shelf in the store (i.e. "social.coop" might have a shelf on platform co-ops and the social digital economy). #coop #buylocal #notAmazon #notB&N
