Read an eBook Week

Yes, it’s true. I LOVE eBooks. Which would explain why I am so excited about The Reader’s Appreciation Read an eBook Week, which begins on Sunday the 8th of March.

Come and join Samhain and its authors at The Cafe for seven days of fun, chatting, excerpts and loads of prizes!

Win an eBook every hour, or go for the grand prize: an Ebookwise eReader.

I’ll be chatting on Wednesday the 11th of March at 7pm US EST for about an hour. Pop in, say hi, and hang around for a couple of excerpts from both my  available books and my book releasing on the 28th of April: Steve’s Story (Circle of Friends, Book 2).

See you there.

My Valentine’s Pressie

Well, I’ve been hankering for an ebook reader for two years. Desperate for one in fact.

I’ve been annoying the crap out of DH, telling him how I can’t live without one, and how sparse my life is with only print books, and how chained I am to my computer, forced to sit at my desk every day just to read a book. (Oh, ok, I’ve just been bugging him a lot with stories about wonderful ebook readers.)

So, come Valentine’s Day, and guess what? You got it. Against every arrangement we’ve ever made to NOT buy each other Valentine’s Day gifts, guess what DH arrived home with?

You got it! My very own, sparkly new ebook reader:

Yep, he got me a BeBook!

Okay, let me be more specific. This is Australia, and the BeBook is called the HanLin eReader. So DH got me a HanLin eReader. And OMG, I am so stoked. I’ve been loading books on all weekend. (Ok, DH has been loading books all weekend, as I am a techno idiot and wouldn’t have a clue how.) Problem is, I’m not sure yet what format is best. Tried .pdf, coz that’s what I read on my computer, but nope. It wasn’t good. So I took  A Question of Trust and downloaded all the different formats, and have been working my way through them all to see which works best.

So far, I’m thinking, the .htm version is best. But you know what? I need time. To play around, to experiment, to get to know my new toy. I’m hoping by 2011 I’ll finally have got a handle on how to use it.

In the meantime, I have a dilemma. I’m desperate to get started on the reader, but I made a big mistake. I opened Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and began the book. Now I’m hooked. I had to finish it yesterday, firstly because I could not put it down, and secondly because I have New Moon sitting on my desk, and the darn book keeps winking at me. Damn, if only I’d had the HanLin a week ago. I would have bought the series as ebooks and read them on my new eReader.

*Sigh* Isn’t life tough?

NOT!
