That’s fantastic news Mitzi. I think the Sony E-Reader was on BBC Breakfast the other day. It looked really nice, but I’d like to try one out first before I buy one. Maybe I’ll pop into a shop and play with one. Why is the UK so slow on the uptake? It seems to have been ages since I first heard about the idea. Im looking forward to when it really takes off. Really pleased that it has had such a positive effect for you already.

Keep up the blogs.

As a matter of interest, Amazon.com have a special deal on at the moment where you can get $100 off a Kindle if you apply for an Amazon Rewards credit card at the same time – http://tinyurl.com/6qf93j

Good to hear that you’ve been getting some sales.

The ridiculous advances offered by publishing houses make my eyes water, particularly for former politicians and sports stars. I’ve never met anyone who reads those things, but I’m guessing they must sell as the advances keep coming. I feel that publishers should look at getting a good stable of reasonable selling authors and keep developing that, then they’d be less likely to get their fingers burned by an also ran celeb.

Anyway, more power to you and to Kindle!

I noticed the typo ’somehere’ – If I’ve missed anymore, sorry!

Please forgive me if my response doesn’t read well. I’m knackered and shouldn’t have switched on my laptop when I returned home from a night of poetics! These laptops are so damned intriguing, I think I’ve developed an obsession.

Right, I’ll continue, red-eyed with my response …

Although Kindle is quite popular in the US, I saw a woman using one on the train one morning. Well, I’m convinced it was a Kindle – it looked like one to me. I’d like to test one soon. Kindles must be on sale somehere in the UK.

Congratulations on your recent success. And, you’re dead right too! It’s a start and I’m confident that you will continue to grow.

Best,

Delores.

I had no idea the Kindle was so hot. It’s been out awhile, but I really didn’t know. NPR was saying people found it too expensive in comparison with other similar readers, lacked special features, and was slow to get through as far as turning pages. I think it’s come down in price since that report though, and I’ve always wanted an electronic reader. Like an IPod for books. That would be rockin…
