Since I'm preparing myself to self-publish my novel as an e-book, I decided it was prudent to be able to read an e-book myself and see how it is. Today I downloaded the Kindle software onto my notebook computer and purchased my first electronic book. I have to say, it's amazing!
Now, my notebook isn't as slim as a Kindle or other Book Reader, but it is certainly something I can take with me. The idea of being able to carry an entire library with me is compelling. Exciting times!
If you want to know more about epublishing on Kindle, I did an extensive blog and checklist on the subject:

I've been using Kindle for PC since it came out and it's now my favorite format for ebooks. I read on my laptop, but when I travel I have a mini laptop, which serves as a lightweight, compact computer and ereader in one.
I have to confess that I didn't start reading ebooks until my mystery was published by Carina Press.
ReplyDeleteNow? I am totally hooked. A 'real' book feels too cumbersome. I love the idea of taking dozens of books on holiday, all on a neat little gadget.
I started on my iPhone and now read mainly on my iPad. Lol, the only downside is that it's too easy to download the books and spend far too much money.:)
Yeah, buying books is so easy on Kindle. It usually takes LESS than 60 seconds! I've now got a little collection that I need to find time to read.
