I love the portability of my Kindle and iPad. I never have to worry about what books to pack with me. There are also so many deals out there. Amazon has a daily deal and every month they showcase marked off ebooks. I definitely get to buy more books and save money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-27376779313702038212012-06-21T18:18:57.863-06:002012-06-21T18:18:57.863-06:00Jacqueline . . .

We who grew up with them just like them.<br /><br />No batteries needed. They're portable. And they'll last for centuries if they've been printed on acid-free paper.<br /><br />Plus, real books make the walls of our offices and writing rooms look good. They tell everyone who walks in that we have wide-ranging interests and we've read up on them.<br /><br />JerryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805286466954042694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-81857790971422198602012-06-21T16:53:28.054-06:002012-06-21T16:53:28.054-06:00Unknown, Kindle and Nook both have a double handfu...Unknown, Kindle and Nook both have a double handful of e-reader models, so you have a lot of homework to do to find the unit that's the best buy for you.<br /><br />Susan, not only are women buying more e-readers than men, they are buying more books than men.<br /><br />On May 14, 2009, Charlotte Abbott posted on the website Follow The Reader a stack of data from a PubTrack survey of 36,000 book buyers, PubTrack's sample selected according to age, gender, income, household size and location. This item reported under the category who was buying books in 2008:<br />-- 57 percent of book buyers are female and they buy 65 percent of the books (e.g. women buy books and they buy them in volume).<br /><br />JerryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805286466954042694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-6435627566721647422012-06-21T15:55:48.188-06:002012-06-21T15:55:48.188-06:00The book world is changing for sure, and your stat...The book world is changing for sure, and your statistics tell us something interesting about it.

Since I have neither a Kindle nor a Nook, I know I'll need to buy one soon, I didn't know the difference between them.

There are three bookcases full of TBRs at my house, my Kindle is loaded for trips, and I'm thrilled with both options. I think the important thing is for us as authors to pay attention to the rapidly changing world of publishing and adapt without jumping on crazy bandwagons. Keeps the brain synapses firing, that's for sure.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757567191914795875.post-16715916575087872222012-06-21T11:45:10.238-06:002012-06-21T11:45:10.238-06:00Hi, Jerry,

So congrats on having a new novel coming out soon.<br /><br />I agree with you and Pat that publishing is going digital. But I still read books in print myself being I guess a tad old-fashioned.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.com
