Well, my experiment with ebooks is moving forward: the Hamilton Stone Editions edition of my novel Trespassers about the Columbia University 1968 sit-ins is now available as an ebook on Barnesandnoble.com (just click there and search for “Trespassers by Meredith Sue Willis”). My book, and Carole Rosenthal’s It Doesn’t Have to Be Me, have both been available on Smashwords.com for a while, but this is the first appearance on another site, which Smashwords has been promising.
I am still looking into ereaders. Does anyone out there have one? What do you recommend? I’m thinking seriously about the soon-to-be-released Kobo, which is a hundred dollars cheaper than Nook and Kindle. The disadvantage, if it is one, is you generally have to download books via your computer. This means you can’t be sitting in an airport and download the latest best seller out of the ether I mean 3G network. But since I’m picturing myself rereading Trollope’s Palliser novels on a device, I don’t really care so much if I can’t get Dan Brown’s latest contraption two minutes after it’s released.
Meanwhile, we’re still watching Phoebe Allen’s webcam with her two ugly little naked blue-black balls of baby bird with yellow beaks, not hummingbird beak shaped at all, and a few yellowish pinfeathers on their blue-black body balls. Phoebe looks happy as a clam when she sits on them.
