Books that I collect (Amanda Quick, Kresley Cole, for instance) I find I still want to own in print. My collections seem incomplete when I have only an ebook version. But, for many other books, including my library books, I love reading as ebooks. In fact, I would love it if the book industry would start doing what the movie industry is already doing. Have a combo where you buy a book, get a digital version for a dollar or two extra... :) That would be the icing on the cake for me. I could have my collection and carry my ebook with me everywhere for quick rereading. But I can't justify paying full price for a print book and then almost full price again for an ebook version. This is a marketing strategy publishers would be smart to take notice of, but who am I to tell them what to do? I thought I wouldn’t like having my books as ebooks, and to a degree, I don’t.

My partner tells me she doesn't like eBook readers, that they lack the "romance" of real books, and maybe she's right. But I love words, and the more I use it the more my Kindle feels like a real book - even more so with a cover, so I have to open it just like a book. So much so that there are times I find I'm trying to turn the page with my finger!

I wonder if they would have a demo available? As for the price war for ebook readers, if it weren't for that, I might still be sitting on the fence about buying an ebook reader for myself! The price played a large role in me deciding to go ahead and get one now instead of waiting longer. I bought the Nook Wi-Fi. I love it. It works perfectly so far and has been a great travel companion. No, I haven’t heard that, but it would definitely be interesting. I wonder if they would have a demo available?

I've heard a rumor that Kindle is coming to Target.

I am always interested in recommendations, for myself and to share with other readers on the site. I don't think I've heard of Sydney Croft, but I've been meaning to pick up a Larissa Ione book but I just haven't done it yet. I'm glad you stopped by and left a comment, and I appreciate your kind words about the website. Thank you!

I wanted to make some suggestions for additional reads since I now have a very good idea of what you might like: Larissa Ione and Sydney Croft. I didn't see these two in your recent reviews or current reading list. Really nice website, thanks for your hard work.
