    Conversely I think I would find it difficult to go back to paper books now.

    Didn't mean to jest at age, sorry. I was poking fun at myself for being only 35 and not reading e-books, while a lot of people older than me have dared to make that transistion and loving it. ;) ;)

    To be fair, most e-books are multiple pixels

    One pixel is a little hard to read

    Oh, I didn't realize that. By now I should know better than to assume someone is from the US.:brickwall:

    To Germany, if you look at delivery cost (Versandtarife) to other countries the shipping costs are higher. Your 3,19 example has shipping costs of 15,50 Euro for everything outside Germany. As I said the Bear Books ones "only" add 5,60 Euro so end up around 9 Euro.

    Than I bow to your personal experience , I was going by what was said on the site. :)

    Mage probably just should put it in the cart and see what shipping costs come up. :shrug:

    You can change the settings on amazon.de in our language.
    What do you have to pay on the second hand book?
