A gift I didn't want. I love it so much now for one reason above all others. I am never without a book to read. I just click, shop and in less than 1 minute, I am reading my new book. It's awesome!<br /><br />I am now used to the feel and the print and I really love my Kindle. I recommend it to absolutely everyone who enjoys reading. I pay a fraction of the price of 'real' books and I don't have to store them when I'm finished. I am not a library user because I don't really enjoy the whole process of looking and finding and then returning.<br /><br />Thanks for taking time to comment.

Also I am old fashioned. I have yet to jump onto the electronic book bandwagon and still prefer a book I can hold and turn pages that requires a book mark.<br /><br />Kathy<br />http://gigglingtruckerswife.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564863484894692249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-28740430661455639742012-10-23T03:14:20.160-04:002012-10-23T03:14:20.160-04:00I designed a book cover for a friend of mine.

Mostly because she wanted it and she's awesome--but not sure beyond her who will ever really see it!!<br /><br />Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-13255346574968706762012-10-23T03:03:03.794-04:002012-10-23T03:03:03.794-04:00Hi Jo!!
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leav...Hi Jo!!<br />Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your lovely comment :)<br />Coming to your post, I do think that the summary or the blurb at the back cover are important for its not possible for a reader to know what is inside before buying and reading it and the summary is the only short cut to knowing what is inside. Writing a short insightful yet tempting summary is truly an art. Nice post :)<br />p.S.- I'm your newest follower :)Swarnalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838907845653317492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-2505314817156534242012-10-22T17:11:08.485-04:002012-10-22T17:11:08.485-04:00I think the summary is the key.

So the only way to select a book remains either the cover, the name or the short summary :)Claudia Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749097943320550338noreply@blogger.com
