Microcosm Publishing Will Trade Print Books for Your Kindle

Microcosm Publishing’s book and zine store in Portland, OR  will trade a stack of print books for your Kindle. If you give up your eReader, the store will give you the equivalent amount in paper books.

The store offers this recommendation: “[M]ake sure to bring a friend to help you carry all your loot; most of the store’s books are priced in the $2-$6 range so [with] a $139-$189 trade-in (note: going retail for the Kindle at Amazon’s site) you might be carrying your books out in a fleet of wheelbarrows!”

What do you think? Would you give up your Kindle for $189 worth of books?

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
