I didn’t realize you couldn’t use those coupons on the pre-orders. Yeah, I would wait for the book to come out too if it meant saving a few bucks on it.

That’s weird that they don’t show up at midnight if you pre-order them. You would think it would go straight to your e-reader the second the clock hit midnight.

If I preorder I don’t get them tell that morning. I’m impatient and hate to dust is why ebook.

I still read mostly print books, so it is very frustrating to check at the bookstore on release day, and they don’t have the book you want. Or you’ve heard about a book and want to try it, but they don’t have it in stock either.

I do like being able to buy an e-book and immediately start reading it on my tablet.

Believe me, I like lists too. And hey — books are a good kind of sickness to have, right? LOL.

The reason I got a Kindle was because I got frustrated with going to bookstores and no one having the book in stock. Some of my books I would check multiple stores and even call to see if they had the book in on release day. On many occasions the book was not in and they could not guarantee when they would get it. I love reading release day and rarely work Tuesdays so if a book is going to be released I can read when I get up.

However, this does not mean that I order as soon as the book appears to be preordered. Instead I usually add to my wish list and wait to see if it goes on sale. I am online most days so at least once a week I will check my wish list to see if any of the books I’m waiting for go on sale, and this is when I preorder,

I must add that I still prefer a real book and with many of my favorite authors I have both a Kindle and either a paperback or hardcover version.

Part of my “book” hobby is hunting down books just to pre-order them or at least put them on a watch list if I haven’t decided for sure if I want them. I feel a little sad when my pre-order list gets anemic. 🙂 I have a special wish list on Amazon to help me keep track of my pre-orders and have a special “upcoming” shelf in Goodreads to track pre-orders and “watch” titles. It’s a sickness, I know. 🙂

My local BAM usually puts books out a few days early too.

More often than not, my local Books A Million and Barnes & Noble will not only get books I’m waiting for in on time, but they will also have them on the shelves a day or two early.
