A short ferry ride from Seattle, we offer a broad selection of fine new & used books, and a full schedule of author readings & events.

While e-books may be having "their iPod moment this holiday season," the Wall Street Journal cautioned that an e-reader buying frenzy "could also turn out to be an eight-track moment" because the technology is changing so rapidly.

"If you have the disposable income and love technology--not books--you should get a dedicated e-reader," said Bob LiVolsi, founder of BooksOnBoard e-book store, who suggested that an old laptop or inexpensive netbook might serve the purpose as well. "It will give you a lot more functionality, and better leverages the family income."

Meanwhile, KNOW THIS:

You CAN'T shop locally with a Kindle... you can ONLY buy from Amazon. Instead, consider a Sony eReader or a free IndieBound App for your iPhone. You CAN download eBooks from our website onto these devices. IT'S ALL ABOUT FREADOM OF CHOICE.
