I am more of a tactile reader. I love the feel of a book in my hands. And I love the smell of a book, whether it be old or new. Hardcovers are always preferred; the covers are removed for safe keeping. I even have a handy dandy case to put my books in while I am reading them. When I do get my hands on a paperback I am real careful, too. My paperbacks look new and unread. Trust me, they have been read, sometimes more than once.

Don’t want to buy. Why not rent instead?
Think of Simply Audiobooks as Netflix for books [that you listen to instead of read]. For as little as $15 a month you can listen to over 11,000 audio titles. This makes a great gift, too. Sign up for the 15-day free trial and see if Simply Audiobooks is for you. And remember, there are no commitments. Pay by the month or a year in advance. If you decide you are no longer interested just cancel your membership. If you paid in advance, Simply Audiobooks will reimburse you for any unused months.
Why not give the gift of books to someone you love this year. And give them a whole new world to explore.
