Because they're all on the nook (In theory). Other possible option I can see is that because this person always has a dozen or so books, they wouldn't fit in this bag anyway and a suitcase is used for books. Lol

Actually, there are many libraries that are letting people check-out e-books now. Plus, if you are looking at price, after you have bought enough books to cover the cost of the kindle/nook/tablet/phone you are reading on, e-books are cheaper to buy. Additionally, if you are in a bad neighborhood or your public library…

I agree with the comment about asking someone you have a relationship with already, or at least someone who you can easily interact with regularly. Unless you ask someone that will go very far out of their way, it is difficult to get guidance from someone that you never see. I would also suggest, if possible, someone…

The thing about college is that not enough parents invest time into helping their kids to understand the importance of choosing a school to fit their needs. A school doesn't have to be an Ivy League college. If you know how to narrow down schools by finding ones that are affordable to you or ones that will allow you…

I bet your degrees aren't as useless as you think. They may not have gotten you anything in your field yet, but they do work as a big sign that says "This guy (or girl) can learn new things." There are very few jobs that you will not need to learn something new in, and knowing that you will be worth the investment of…

Recent college grads have a lot more room to negotiate than you would think, especially if you know you need to stay with this company for a couple of years to get experience before branching out. Negotiate for potential employers to pay off some student debt, if you aren't one of those lucky enough to be debt free.…

Great Post, but I was wondering if there were any posts on here rating different laptop bags; backpacks, messenger bags, and other. I couldn't find anything through the search or through google from Lifehacker. If there isn't one, you should write one. I have seen some nice looking bags in the what's in his bag posts,…

Flag as SPAM please. Why is there no spam button yet? I feel that the community is honest enough to not abuse one. If not, make a point system with it so that you must get enough recommended posts before you can mark as spam.

I agree that changing your oil can be easy to do, but now you can use groupon or something similar to get multiple oil changes for a price that you can't beat. Plus, many of the groupon ones include higher quality oil for the same price as regular oil is for you which just means that you are doing your car a service.

Buy second-hand

Do I care should definitely be #1, then the prior 1-3 can be 2-4. If 1 is no, proceed to Lifehacker.

So, when you automate something, how do you know if your bill gets messed up and they charge you an extra $20 a month for your internet because the bundle discount changed? I set some bills to autopay, but only those that do not change month-to-month like my rent, my car payment, and my student loans. I manually check…

Is it a bad sign when I saw this and thought about how much fun it would be to shoot flaming corks out of something? I was picturing a marshmallow gun or a hose with compressed air and the mini corks stuck inside one of these. (Without that bit on the end of course)

I think this is especially true for actors as you said. I keep thinking about how Heath Ledger got way too into his character of the Joker and it actually caused him to be depressed. (There very well could have been other factors here, but it was enough to push him over the edge.) As for everyone else, if you do…

I've learned to spot these people right away and slow down at the bottom of the ramp so I am pulling up on them just as they are accelerating again. It may seem like I am doing the same thing, but then I am hitting 60 or whatever the speed limit is without having to hit the brakes.

I went on the app store and read the reviews. They go into detail about it being really buggy. The most recent 1-star reviews were this month, so it seems it still has some issues to work out.

I feel like this would work for those that are nearsighted, but it might be better for people that are farsighted and forget their reading glasses. I'm sure everyone here has seen someone in a restaurant that is holding a menu far away or squinting to see something. In many cases it's really funny because there is a…

You should all realize that expiration dates on things like rubbing alcohol and computers are just there so that when something does go wrong, the company is not liable. Generally, when they test things they set the expiration short so that they have a very slim chance of you reaching it under warranty. That being…

This logic makes sense for things like living closer to your downtown job despite the fact that its more expensive in order to save you an hour commuting every day, but for things like toothpaste, you get as much as you can out of it using your toothbrush or something similar to squeeze it out. It may be two extra…

I'm not sure, but I' guessing yes.
