I can change the font size and mine holds up to approx 50 books.<BR/>It's great to take on a trip instead of 3 or 4 print books taking up space in my suitcase. And, the reader fits in my purse, or goes in the same bag as my laptop.<BR/>I'm looking for a newer model ebook reader right now.Marianne Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277593485137508765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-9096163260811730812008-08-03T09:30:00.000-04:002008-08-03T09:30:00.000-04:00I would rather read print books because I don't ha...I would rather read print books because I don't have a device for ebooks. I do have some downloaded on my computer and read them, but very slowly because I don't like reading from my computer. I think when the the price goes down on the devices I'll get one, but even then I know I will have a hard time figuring out how to get it to work.Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522358143170232454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-64039141345672608552008-08-03T02:04:00.000-04:002008-08-03T02:04:00.000-04:00Chelle,Thanks for your nice comments!

Ebooks are the future of publishing and I plan to "go with the flow" even if I run up against unfavorable opinions of others.<BR/>No, I don't earn enough to "make a living from my books...but who does when they first start out? I'm happy doing what I'm doing, and figure some day I'll earn more as I continue to write and publish. If going with an epub works for me now, that's what I'll continue to do. <BR/>And, I'll have fun getting these stories from parading through my head and hope others enjoy them!Marianne Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277593485137508765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-17848492913587577892008-08-03T01:53:00.000-04:002008-08-03T01:53:00.000-04:00booksrforever123,This same person has had a diffic...booksrforever123,<BR/>This same person has had a difficult time getting her career going again. I think some bitterness and disappointment made her "rain on my parade" and ask me. I'm certainly not any kind of "threat" to her career, since we don't even write in the came genres.It's too bad because she's a wealth of knowledge on writing, shares that, but has this negative "thing" about ebooks...even though my first book has already gone into a print version.<BR/>Can't please everyone.Marianne Stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277593485137508765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-38629969217266892772008-08-01T23:58:00.000-04:002008-08-01T23:58:00.000-04:00Some people think once you publish a book you gain...Some people think once you publish a book you gain telepathy and know when it will be available, how much it will cost and so forth. <BR/>Oh and reading the fine print. Wow. Lessons to be learned if you dont.. even if you have already kissed the publisher and now wished you hadn't. <BR/><BR/>And for those who ask the question of how much $ ... Do we ask our grandmother when she lost her virginity? NO! Those are question that we do not ask out of respect and because it's not our business.<BR/>If you wanna know, write your own dang book. See what you get paid! <BR/><BR/>I love... LOVE e-books. Download. Put on a flash USB.. and take with you anywhere. No bulk of a book, or hardback to carry. Slip into your purse and off you go. Read it at work, in the car on your laptop or wherever a USB drive is available. What will they think of next! <BR/><BR/>Kudos to you on your success.. and much more always...<BR/><BR/>Chelle <BR/><BR/>Bradnchelleprice@aol.comChelle Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064409742731433255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-78254582649048771142008-08-01T10:47:00.000-04:002008-08-01T10:47:00.000-04:00Don't you just hate people that imply something th...Don't you just hate people that imply something that you should be doing and then when you ask them if they would or could do it, it stops them in their tracks, because they can't.

I won a download a few years ago, which led to me buying a ebook reader. I've been hooked every since. I notice that when I go to the book store, I pick up one or two books. When I go to an e-store, I buy 4 or 5 books. I think ebooks are the way to go. The variety and convenience can't be beat.<BR/>mizztuts@ bellsouth.netTara Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393319473348356973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-76097540423861990632008-07-29T10:28:00.000-04:002008-07-29T10:28:00.000-04:00Both of my books are in print, and I'm trying to g...Both of my books are in print, and I'm trying to get that 1st e-pub contract.
