So why are imported books expensive?
is it because of exchange rate? is it for profiterring or is because of limited audience for many of the books. Actually i am no bookworm i either glance them free at MPH or check the internet.

As far as magazines go- this is very obvious. The same mag can cost sometimes 100% more depending on the distributor name on the price tag. As for books I now go to Book Xcess in Amcorp. All novels betwn 17.90-24.90 depending on size/hardcover/softcover. All brand new and if you're lucky some new, popular titles. Not as much selection as MPH or borders but enuf for a weekend book fix.

Yes, actually i am. But I think age is not the matter. I feel that by setting the fonts larger with a back lit screen is easier on the eyes.

Err buddies...look at it this way...
How much $ per square foot of commercial shopping complex space... does the bookstore pay n still be able to see their business mushrooming... into multiple chains of bookstores occupying 5,000 to 15,000 square feet... of floor space in EACH store at those posh shopping complexes... in major cities nationwide...? Example: In Mid Valley - what is the SALE commission rate earned by the property management from these bookstores... besides earning the monthly rental... from these bookstores...? It's all about...obscene profit making business ethics...obscene.

Good idea.... but... hassle to bring the books there everymonth... we should also not give away free books (even if I want to) .... as some kiasu neighbours will come with a lorry and take away all the free ones... but never read after that.... hahaha... Also, if you see the school buku pinjaman condition... you will know what I meant... kids just dont take care of their books... maybe parents didnt teach them well... tak tahu lar Best is a CC with volunteers... As Sj is a "wealthy" (coined by taxi drivers ) community ... it may also now work .... the wealthy people might not even visit or participate. Parents might even use the "library" as day care.... dump their kids there and go shopping, golfing or karaoke.... Parents might sue the management is their kids got hurt there..... Become another political tussle.... later on? So its in the drawing board till then .... hahaha

Sentinel, why don't you try getting yourself a Sony ebook Reader? My eldest daughter is also an avid reader. She bought one of these readers while in Los Angeles and download free ebooks from the Internet for her to read from the ebook reader. I think they are sold here already. The size of the pages are just like an ordinary book. Worth the investment and you don't have to run out of space in your library. View this http://www.techgadgets.in/handhelds...rs-info-leaked/

m still thinks the best site would be the MPSJ building - so they can show a real committment to education. Throw in a volunteer-run tuition centre as well. Cheers, m

While racking my memories for a suitable public building for such a noble idea, the first thing that came to mind was the 3K or the 3C complexes. But alas, these places are in the midst of traffic jams of Sunway and Kewajipan.
Then what about disused covered car parks? Unfortunately the one at Taipan-2 (USJ21?) is "for sale" Anyone have contacts with Summit/Sunway/Carrefour/DigitalMall ? Could be good for a Sunday book-club or equivalent ... currently the DigitalMall is quite deserted - can help draw crowd there if the management is willing to donate floor space and tables.

Syed Bistro should be positive with support too because this meet will bring in people and maybe some sales of teh tareks and roti canais for them. Plus probably some publicity for them as a responsible corporate citizen... someone sell the idea to the boss lah...
