Sometimes I really can't wait for a particular book and can download it easily. Besides space saving, can take a lot away easily on the one device, and when talking books with reader friends online, can look up something fast. Also, no more searching through boxes and piles of books to find the one I want, lol. Still, most of my family and friends I haven't convinced to try ebooks yets, so we pass the prints around.Pam Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707336988423231812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-69104046699997481702010-12-02T23:00:47.927-05:002010-12-02T23:00:47.927-05:00Hank, I'm hoping for an e-reader from Santa! ...Hank, I'm hoping for an e-reader from Santa! Hard to believe I don't have one yet. I do think it is the future, and I have found some new readers for my e-books (Chain Tree and Cursed). <br /><br />The short Lola Cruz story is a new venture... we'll see how it goes. I'm happy authors can gift e-books, now, and am glad to hear contest winners use gift cards to buy those author's books!<br /><br />I do think the internet is the best way to reach the most people (a targeted audience) quickly and efficiently. <br /><br />Thanks for having me here, today, Hank!Misahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841388306033941061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-64471851589813963622010-12-02T15:12:34.084-05:002010-12-02T15:12:34.084-05:00SandyG--that's very reassuring!

I think I've looked at one of those maybe twice over many years. I'd rather go online and read an excerpt to see if it grabs me rather than look at mostly ads and lists in magazines like this, lol. You might do some excerpt small booklets to send to people on your mailing list.<br /><br />I've been reading ebooks for years and love them for many reasons, particularly saving space around the house, no more stacks all over.<br /><br />I see you are using smashwords. You can give an ebook away there by emailing the winner a coupon for the price and can be limited to a particular book if you like, several authors I know are doing this now. Many authors just email a pdf copy (usually secured which can't be shared with the whole world), for a win.<br /><br />I know I've added so many new authors to my buy list after winning and loving a book.<br /><br />I believe Barnes & Noble also lets you share an ebook once with a friend for their Nook.Pam Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707336988423231812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-38411055240628198582010-12-02T13:32:07.802-05:002010-12-02T13:32:07.802-05:00If I win a gift card from an author, I always spen...If I win a gift card from an author, I always spend at least a portion of it on that author's books. If it is a new to me author, I will buy at least one unless I really like the sound of the books. If it is from a favorite author, chances are I will use it to fill in the books of theirs I have not yet read. <br />I do not yet have an e-reader, but am looking at them. I have one several e-books and have no where to put them. I have a couple downloaded on my computer, but that really doesn't work. Hopefully, I will have a reader to download everything to soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66530192017421482112010-12-02T12:38:56.329-05:002010-12-02T12:38:56.329-05:00Hey Diana, Thanks!!!!

Sometimes, people sign up and want to be featured right away. If there's a week open, that's great, but I'm a planner, so I say contact me early rather than late! (editor@booksonthehouse.com)<br /><br />Like we did with your featured week, and this week with all the Jungle Red Gals, we can customize the week to fit your needs. FYI, Hank and I had such fun planning her featured week and the unbelievable amount of books she gave away! This week is just as awesome... 13 books in total given away by the Jungle Red Writers. <br /><br />Books on the House is flexible and will bend over backwards to accomodate ;)Misahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841388306033941061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-89163879342017111102010-12-02T08:59:28.486-05:002010-12-02T08:59:28.486-05:00BIG changes over at Amazon since I wrote this post...BIG changes over at Amazon since I wrote this post.
