It is no secret that I am a big eReader fan. I’ve talked about it here and here. And from the very beginning I have been a loyal customer of Amazon. With the introduction of the Kindle, I knew I wanted one but waited until 2009. The Kindle Two had just been introduced, giving me…
Mucho excitement is in the air today. Amazon has announced a new range of Kindles, including a basic Kindle for just $79 and a $199 Kindle Fire tablet. If anybody is buying a Kindle today, we’d very much appreciate it if you’d use the links below to do so: Kindle Touch 3G Kindle Touch Kindle…
I know that for the readers that just love holding the actual paper book in their hands, it is going to take a lot to convince them to change to eBooks. But this week, a recurring dilemma of mine brought home one reason I love them. An AAR reader mentioned wanting to read an out…
If there was one word we kept hearing last week at RWA, it was digital. We heard it from excited people, disillusioned people, scared people, and confused people. Digital options are opening up a Brave New World, but no one seems to be sure how that will change the current landscape, only that it will….

On Tuesday Royal Weddings, a new Avon Impulse digital anthology featuring Loretta Chase, Gaelen Foley, and Stephanie Laurens is released. The authors pull out their charm, wit, and passion to tell three stories set amidst grand historical royal weddings, including those of Princess Charlotte and Queen Victoria. Of course, the timing of this digital anthology…
Unconditional love – that’s what I give my lovely Nook Color. I’ve now had it for three weeks, even though the device has been out since November, and I’ve got a fairly good idea of its capabilities. First, it must be said that the NC is a very specific device. It’s a color touch screen…
