    I love books. No matter how many eBooks get around, I still love my old books in physical format. The only problem I have with them, usually, is shipping them. Despite having an awesome place like Book Depository that offers free shipping of books, I sometimes have to import my books from places like Japan (i.e. magazines). It saddens me to see the shipping price equal (or even surpass) the original book price.

    Has this ever happened to you?

    Well, kinda. There are some books that book depository didn't have that I had to order from USA Amazon, and I had to pay ~$15 to get them shipped. It's not the greatest thing, but what else can you do. It's not like the post can work for free. That's why I tend to prefer eBooks for books that I would have to "import" nowadays.
