I use Kindle editions of some non-fiction texts but prefer to read novels on paper. I have an iPad on which I read Kindle editions, have had a Sony e-book reader, and read Kindle books on my phone sometimes so this is not being a Luddite - it's just a preference.<br /><br />And if I had bought the Kindle edition I would have been denied the delightful interaction with enthusiastic publisher, author and bookseller; the entire transaction would have been impersonal and only commercial. The involvement of the people connected with the book and their enthusiasm for it and for getting it to readers will impart an extra dimension to my reading.Stroppy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560035800075465845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363444567124084776.post-52353544468816921742011-02-19T11:31:22.824+00:002011-02-19T11:31:22.824+00:00Now if you'd had a Kindle in your bag, you cou...Now if you'd had a Kindle in your bag, you could have looked up <i>Small Blue Thing</i> on it, bought it, and started reading immediately, thus cutting out the Twitter interaction, the delay and the dash to Foyles.<br /><br />No wonder readers love their Kindles.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404818053292364819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363444567124084776.post-31022764625019069892011-02-19T10:34:30.930+00:002011-02-19T10:34:30.930+00:00I absolutely love the speed and interactivity of T...I absolutely love the speed and interactivity of Twitter. I've often had great responses to queries as well. Glad to see it's working well in the book world :)Rebecca Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194524230109997420noreply@blogger.com
