I’ve never done it myself but met someone who does so all the time.

He starts by buying a hardback book. Looks up an address for the author. Then mails the book to the the author with a polite letter requesting an autograph. He includes the return postage so all the author has to do is sign it and send it back.

He has a house full of signed books. He said that authors by and large are very gracious and he has an almost 100% return rate.

Kindle lovers, do you know of a way to bulk download my kindle library to my (new) phone? Or do I need to touch each book’s thumbnail one at a time?

Re the OP, yes, I agree on all points. I love being able to capture otherwise wasted moments in lines or waiting rooms or wherever because I have a whole library available to me of personally curated titles.

My only problem is that my kids probably don’t differentiate between my reading an intellectually enlarging work and mindlessly wasting time staring at a screen.
