之前好似有條thread講呢間online bookshop, 不過搵唔返。呢間買書抵唔抵？

我覺得OK。Just like bookdepository.co.uk, their price covers free international delivery.

除了一次 junk mail 事件外，我對這家網上書店的服務，也很滿意，大部分的書也買到，跟bookdepository相若，但它用港幣標價，方便我不用找計數機．

現在的習慣是粗略比較幾家網上書店的價錢，只要不是相差太遠，我選魚塘，書藏所的價錢最終要視乎過數當日的匯價，反而魚塘更似”明碼實價”，試過用超低海鮮價港幣24元買到Quiet，嘩，抵到呢！但我要強調，幾家網上書店都是很好的，特別要選”相對不太大路”的參考書，書藏所更加略勝一籌．

Amazaon都好，只是太多二手書店資訊，版面亂，我看得沒有耐性，但這是我的問題，與它沒有關係．

請問魚塘話6-10個工作天送貨,準時嗎?

我沒有刻意計算過是否一如其所言6-10日的送貨期，因為，我在網上買書，不太在乎這點，如果急用，我會去Swindon找，總之，每次覺得，都差不多了，書就自然送到．不過，肯定沒有6日這麼快，10日左右吧！

我都你多數同fishpond買書，都幾方便價錢也合理。

Is ordering in HK$ cheaper then?  Amazon is the other way, they like to convert your purchase to HK$ but gives you a very bad exchange rate.

多謝大家，我剛上fishpond訂了幾本書。你們的小朋友有參加Battle of Book嗎？你們會買書定借書？

不是的，只是用港幣標價，我心中好計數／記數而已．

未聽過呀！
但我家小孩還小，未有資格參加住，不過，見到福爾摩斯，榜上有名，很開心，這應該是不錯的活動了吧！

Mine are too young for BoB as well.  But I do look forward to it if they are interested.  Have you thought about buying the books on Kindle and make use of their X-ray function?

My boy wears glasses with 400度近視，better stay away from tablets or computer. He loves reading books.

I think the Kindle Paperwhite is better.  Plus the X-ray function lists out all the characters with all the relevant paragraphs!

I want my kids to be glasses-free for as long as possible, that's why I made them read with their Kindles!

I have a Kindle (the oldest version, with keyboard). It is comfortable to read, but I prefer having a book in my hands. I like a physical book with paper texture, layout, font size, font type, front and back cover design...... to appreciate while reading. I am just weird, ain't I?

It is nice to have a book in one's hand.  But I save that pleasure for Chinese books now.  Reading on the Kindle is especially appealing when you are on the road or can't carry too many physical books.  I used to have the original Kindle as well and just moved to the Paperwhite.  It is a much better experience.  I would recommend it especially if you need to read in a dark environment.  The other benefit is the font size can be increased (in anticipation of additional aging in the next few years)!

Kindle 不是會更容易有近視嗎?

不會喇，讀 Kindle 跟書本一樣，眼睛靠四周的光源來看字，壞眼的是字後出光的 iPad, Kindle Fire 等，不一樣的。

很多 chapter books 的字很細，讀起來傷神，易壞眼；這些書在 Kindle 上可較大字體來看，對眼睛好得多。


另外，很多人看書會攤平看，遇著光紙印刷的書就會反光，又是對眼睛不好；長期低頭亦對頸椎有害。Kindle 很易墊斜，不怕反光或傷頸。
