Three books in One

One of the places where the Kindle truly shines is in comparison to the weight and inconvenience of reading very large books. Although there are a number of combined series or trilogy releases out in hardback and paperback, most of them can be a strain on the wrists to read, due to the physical size and weight. On the Kindle, however, one, three or a thousand books all weigh the same 10.4 ounces, the weight of small paperback. Often, another advantage of the Kindle is the pricing on these combined volume books. There are several currently in the Amazon store listed for the same or less than the cost of one volume of the series.
