It's the wave of the future and we have to go along with it. I think of the room I'll create in my luggage when I can take one device in my carry-on vs ten books in my suitcase!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994548621354458694.post-9090482272001571252011-03-08T20:59:51.209-05:002011-03-08T20:59:51.209-05:00As you know, I collaborated with another author on...As you know, I collaborated with another author on an article about this very subject. Jerri Oughton, a seasoned, published author of many YA novels, has just published 2 new novels directly to Kindle. Her profits are 70% verses less than 10% earnings from the sale of books. And yes, I'm reading all the articles that are pointing in the direction of e-books - not the future, but the now. Still for us book junkies -the ones who love to crack a book open and smell the aroma of black ink, aged pages and see the comforting site of coffee stains and dog-eared pages, will always want a book in hand. But for travel, I have thrown the towel in and downloaded 10 books on my Kindle to take to Europe this summer. I will administer my own 10 lashes, thank you! <br /><br />Angela SilverthorneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
