Crossing Swords was recommend to me by AmyC and I have to say I throughly enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series. :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03199090871816032532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224767438853700573.post-48980890295224105372008-12-28T17:14:00.000-08:002008-12-28T17:14:00.000-08:00LOL, I hear ya, Laughingwolf.

And I only buy ebooks if they're comparatively inexpensive--you won't find me paying print prices for digital, let me tell you...<BR/><BR/>If I lived somewhere other than the middle of nowhere, I'd probably be happy with Chapters or Coles.

It looks so much like a real page it's almost freaky. And I can curl up in my chair, set it on my knee and read hands-free. I could fold clothes while reading. I could wash dishes while reading. I can enlarge the text, I don't get hand fatigue...<BR/><BR/>Best thing, it only eats power when you turn the page, so if I take it to bed and fall asleep, I'm not sucking electricity.<BR/><BR/>It takes a bit to get used to pressing a button rather than turning a page, but it is freaking awesome!<BR/><BR/>My dog, well, she's been at large for a few hours and hasn't peed anywhere (she peed on my chair on Christmas Eve. Not on <I>her</I> chair, mind you...). But she hasn't eaten a bite of dog food in more than a week. Still has an appetite for Beggin' Strips and people food, tho, so she's not on death's door yet...kirsten saellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778076783406073225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224767438853700573.post-20127780005310634832008-12-27T19:31:00.000-08:002008-12-27T19:31:00.000-08:00Want!!(ereader, got the book ;) )Poor mutt.

I kept talking myself out of getting it, and then my mom made the mistake of asking me whether I wanted a laptop cooler or a Sony for Christmas. Well, duh, right? LOL And I had to have a picture to post, so I <I>had</I> to upload Crossing Swords, because DAMN, that cover is hot! <BR/><BR/>Hope you had a great Christmas, Amy!<BR/><BR/>*ingli (just writing down the word ver. for possible use as a name, heh)kirsten saellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778076783406073225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224767438853700573.post-22398342695716648172008-12-26T05:57:00.000-08:002008-12-26T05:57:00.000-08:00I hope your dog gets better.

That is such a spiffy little reader and I see you have your book uploaded on it :)! I have an ebookwise. I love it, but the sony is more sleek and cool looking. Maybe some year the hubby will buy me one of those. Actually, I should say maybe one year the hubby will let me buy one of those! He won't buy it for me :).Amy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832983748006739171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224767438853700573.post-8805014438481325262008-12-25T15:46:00.000-08:002008-12-25T15:46:00.000-08:00Thanks, Leah.

It's a worry about Slip because she's 12, and that's just the right age for all kinds of things we can't afford to deal with--diabetes and cancer, etc. And there is just no way I could deal with a dog who can't control her bladder. She wet her bed last night--normally she can go from 11PM to noon without a problem--and we were up before 8. <BR/><BR/>Poor dog. She's such a pain most of the time, I didn't realize how hard it would hit me that she's not well. I just hope it's something we can fix with minimal expense, because we just can't afford to deal with surgery or lifelong pharmaceutical intervention.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, Samhain <I>is</I> awesome for letting readers redownload their books. I mean, I can imagine so many reasons someone would need to do that--upgrading to a new device, computer crashes, losing your flash drive, etc. And to be honest, it doesn't make piracy any more likely, but it will win you some pretty loyal customers.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, and Merry Christmas!kirsten saellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778076783406073225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224767438853700573.post-37476541185943209382008-12-25T15:16:00.000-08:002008-12-25T15:16:00.000-08:00Oh that's so sad about your dog.

But isn't it the way that these things always happen on weekends or the holidays?<BR/><BR/>She looks like a real sweetheart. Hope she feels better soon.<BR/><BR/>First, you're so lucky getting a Sony. It's so much better than reading on a computer. <BR/><BR/><I>AND even if you've already bought them in a different format, you can go back to your bookshelf and get them in SONY</I><BR/><BR/>You know, I only found out about this recently and I love Samhain for doing it. I downloaded a book in HTML, which I can convert to read on my eBookwise, but for some reason the file was slightly corrupt and while it was fine on my computer it wouldn't translate. <BR/><BR/>Then I ordered some other books and saw that all the books I've ordered were on my account and I just re-downloaded that book in pdf, and was able to then get it on my eBookwise. <BR/><BR/>Phaze is the only other publisher that I know allows you the option to download in several formats even after you've downloaded it once. Kudos to both Phaze and Samhain for that!LVLM(Leah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01344785501583933784noreply@blogger.com
