The Cost & The Clutter

I’ve read hundreds of books, often spending 35-40% of my income on books & courses.
I was spending so much on books that I never invested any of my income, I had a bookshelf worth thousands and nothing in a broker’s account.

As a reseller, my house is full of stock, shelves, boxes, clothing, collectables, and books, I’m at the point where having piles of books taking up a room has become a burden.
The space could be used to store another 400 units to sell on my eBay store.

A Pile Of Books
In time as I started to write content about books, I realised that highlighting and taking all my notes inside a book became a pain in the arse, when it came to transferring and organising the content, I would be wasting time typing up long passages & quotes.

So having piles of books around the house not only affects my ability to scale my business from home, but I’d be working twice as long to create content about them.

Now I’m a big lover of books, but once you’ve read so much you start to finish less and less and focus on the application instead. If you are new to reading you’ll likely focus on the number of books that you read, but as you grow you’ll start to focus on quality, only the best of the best and you’ll finish less and less, leaving you with piles of unworthy books.

The Discounts

I still like to buy a lot of books, I no longer want to pay £10 for a book, wait 2 days for it to arrive, extract £1 in value and then look at it on the shelf for the next 20 years.
Most books won’t even cover the shipping cost if you wanted to resell them online.

On average you get 10 books for £100, 1 in 10 may be a great book.
Or now you can get 100 books for £100, 10 possible great books.

Instead of paying thousands like me, you could get an insane library including most of the best books for way less than £100. All it takes is a few seconds a day.

Here are some images from my kindle library. 98% of these books I paid 99p for.

Now That’s A Lot Of Books

Kindle if you didn’t know has daily & monthly sales on kindle books, you can either add books you like in the kindle format to a watch list & amazon will notify you when it drops in price, or you can check “Today Deals” for deals that are only available for 24 hours.

Once a month usually on the first as I get excited, I’ll check the kindle book deals in the non-fiction category, clicking through all 15+ pages. These will usually be on sale for the whole month, I used to buy around 15 at a time, but as time goes on I’m usually grabbing a few from the monthly deals and a few daily deals per month.

I don’t tend to buy physical books now, the only exception is if the books are so amazing that I’d like a physical copy to write in or it’s something that isn’t sold in other formats, such as Charlie Mungers Almanack.

Other Benefits Include

  • Easily export all your notes & highlighted passages to a text file, super handy if you are a writer.
  • No light to hold in bed, no turning pages, and no tears when you drop a textbook on your face.
  • Unfinished books are archived instead of sitting in the corner of a room adding to your feelings of guilt.
  • You can take 10 or 10’000 books and notes with you anywhere you go, which can all be accessed from a browser, mobile, tablet, kindle. Reading this way is my new normal, I’m more productive, save more money, and have less clutter.

How To Claim These Daily Deals

-Head over to the Kindle Daily Deals.

-Open up kindle daily deals every day and check the 5/6 daily book offers.

-Once a month, scroll through the non-fiction book kindle book deals or the genre that interests you.
