You'll see avid readers, collectors, and book dealers lined up in advance of tonight's 6pm opening. After paying admission, many run into the cafeteria (captured on video) to get first crack at the 100,000 gently-used items offered for sale. Lots will be leftover for the more casual shoppers who get in for free on Saturday. Both days of this annual event are lots of fun!

What does it mean by "$5 per electronic device?"
