Click over and check it out!
and, tell me: what are your thoughts on e readers? what are the best tips you've heard regarding marketing? how do you connect (or do you) to authors you enjoy?

I don't own an eReader yet, but it's just because I can't afford one right now, not because I'm against them. I've been reading a friend's published story on my computer because it only came out in digital format, but it's hard because it feels like I'm working while I'm reading it. :) I think having an eReader might make reading digital versions of books more enjoyable.
Great tips, I'm bookmarking it for future reference. It's jam-packed with helpful information. I like your tip about getting organized and being ready with a different slant for different venues. Thanks for that. Organization is key to so many things, this is a really useful to know.
I’m just dropping by to say hi. I hope you are doing okay and everything is fine. Have a super week!
I don't have one, yet, but I think they're genius. Yep. I do. I love a real paper and ink book, but I'm seeing people power on that thing and read...anywhere, anytime, buying books they might not have bought or found any other way.
Personally I love my ereader. And I think I buy MORE books on it. so that's something.
I'm heading over to your interview now!
Great article! Thanks for the link. :)
I did a post today about bookmarks, postcards and keeping track of your contacts. :)
Amy: I've read on the computer as well and it IS like work...that was my exact thought. I agree having a portable ereader would make it more relaxing. I don't have one yet either.
dellgirl: doing good - how are you and how are those grandbabies?
Mary: agreed - it will absolutely encourage reading, which is what we are all about in the end.
Terry: I can't tell you how many times I've heard this very thing..that people read way more, buy more, etc. It's a good thing!
Sharon: I'll pop over - you are so good at that!
