I downloaded a copy to my “Kindle for PC” app, and another copy to the Kindle app on my iPad. The Kindle version of the book I was looking for was slightly cheaper than the paperback, and if I bought it I could have it instantly, so I took the plunge and purchased it. It turns out that e-books can sell out too (how exactly, I don’t quite understand), as the PDF was gone from Google Play and is nowhere to be found on the net. I did see the book before in some kind of a PDF format for a reasonable price at Google Play, and I naively assumed that it would be waiting for me there in my moment of need. But today I urgently needed a book that wasn’t available at my library and I couldn’t find it in any other electronic format. I managed to avoid Kindle up until now by being able to find paper books or online e-books at my university library for the titles I needed. Surely I must count as some sort of a dinosaur, as it was only today that I’d purchased – and then promptly returned – my very first Kindle e-book.
