Lots of books are free
Most are a couple of quid
"Newer" books are normally a couple of quid cheaper than normal books
You can also download books on various file sharing websites
I got the Kindle on Monday. Best thing ever.
To give you a bit of background, I used to be the most avid reader in my school in my primary school. I was made an officer of the new school library there because of my reading and I was the best at English in my school. But then as I joined secondary school I lost interest in books. My English grades started slipping, and I eventually got moved down a set. For this reason I knew I had to start reading again, but I had no idea which books I'd like because I was no longer a child, and children's books weren't for me. So I asked my dad to get my sister (who was becoming an English teacher) a Kindle for Christmas 2010 knowing that she wouldn't want it and that I'd be able to use it. So he comes home with a fudging Sony Reader.
So I used her Sony Reader for about a month, before she decided she wanted it back. Again I lost interest in reading and continued doing brick in English. So, in September as I started my GCSEs I knew I had to start reading again, but thankfully we had to read books in class as part of our course, but in the last 2 months I decided this wasn't enough. So because my birthday's in half an hour right now, I begged my mum last week to please buy me an Amazon Kindle as an early birthday present so I can read during the whole of half term and I don't fail my GCSEs. Thankfully she agreed and now I have the same pleasure I used to have in reading again.
The Kindle's 10x better than real books. For all you grandpas who go on saying 'I prefer good old-fashioned real books and the smell', you read books for the wrong reasons. The Kindle's much more comfortable to hold, the screen's not as good as real paper as it reflects light too much in my opinion, but it still is very nearly as good. Also with the Kindle you can just think of a book and start reading it straight away without having to wait 5 days for Amazon to deliver it. Also it's pleasing to know that eBooks are generally cheaper than real books (though stupidly enough eBooks are still subject to VAT)
I also find reading the newspaper a million times better on the Kindle. You wake up in the morning, and the paper's sitting there waiting for you to read it in a compact version, and the best part is you get a kind of contents page on the newspaper, where the sections are down the left-hand side, and the stories in the selected section are down the right-hand side.

Ok so been a pretty busy reader lately... Read bout 9 books this year already! After reading Giles Kristian's "Raven" trilogy (excellent read) I went on to read Ben Kane's "Hannibal: Enemey of Rome" which again was a really good read, told from both Roman and Carthaginian view points which intertwined very well. Recommend that one:
Now I'm currently reading Simon Scarrow's "Eagle" series, a series I often overlooked regrettably. Finding these books brilliant at the moment, on the 4th one of about 11 I beleive? Follows a Centurion and a Young Optio of the Second Legion during Rome's conquest of Britain in 43AD during Emporer Claudius' reign. Very well told and a definate page turner full of action and twists and political conspiracy.
I also recently got 2 books in a Tesco sale called A Dance With Dragons (parts 1 & 2) by George R.R. Martin... Something to do with The Game Of Thrones series on Sky? Not my usual read as I tend to go for Historical Fiction rather than fantasy so will be an interesting crossover no doubt?

You can read a book on any android tablet device though - you dont have to go for an e-reader!! you can use the kindle app, google reader, aldiko and many more.
The benefit of this is obvious: if you're reading a book on a train, for example, and it starts to get a bit sh@t, just pop a porno on and start bashing. bet you can do that with a kobo!
Brilliant author.

I would recommend 59 seconds by Richard Wiseman. It takes a more scientific, research based view at the self help industry and some of their advice. Turns out some of the traditional advice given based on common sense is far from ideal and might even be hurtful.
