yeah but the price is deterring people to stop. and it's such a pity because book should be cheaper you know to encourage people to buy.

and the library maybe has not been updating their collection as regular as they should.

for me, I don't care really where people get the book as long as they read it. I personally buy book for my own personal collection...but there are people that can't afford it.

and downloading it, it's not a bad idea...and for a reader if you like it you'll get it.

it's not fickle minded when you say a book that between 50-100 is expensive..

and i go through a book in a few hours, a few days maximum.

so yes, book is expensive to me.

so i have reduce my book consumption by getting it once a week or two weeks. which is really sad considering if our government really try to encourage reading they will realize that there are people like me who do buy book every week and 50 every week is burning my pocket.

Unfortunately, I like owning my books.

I do not agree with dling, or photocopying books..but I do understand where its coming from

a manga cost rm70 and dling a few minutes? logically anyone would choose dling unless he/she wants to own the book/collection.

as for me, i buy my manga but not before i dl it.

same goes for text book, the biomolecular text book in msia cost 2k...who would buy it? i have no idea.
