I go through 34 books in less than a year and my electronic devices have a lifetime of 2-5 years. Hmm, I see how this could easily get tough for not-so-avid readers. However, what about using your tablet PC or PDA? You don't need any extra devices to read ebooks then. I hate the gray-on-gray...

It's funny that you haven't heard of "Brave New World". It is in fact so well-known, it has become an idiom. I think the use has faded a little, but some time back you actually got people saying "brave new world" all the time when the world produced another fitting booboo.

Thanks for the info! As a crazy old Gibson fan (the man pretty much invented my fav genre, cyberpunk) I just have to get that one :)

I wouldn't want to read newspapers on the classic kindle. Even if it was the new color one. However, I like using the kindle app on my Motorola Xoom at 10" size. Anything smaller and in ugly gray on gray just drives me away. Using that argument together with that of the people who start to cry...

Sounds interesting to me - at least if I can choose to review or not. If I think a book sucks i don't want to read beyond chapter 1. And what about that "Amazon Review Program"? Is it hard to join?

I prefer their subscription plan where you always get books for that price or cheaper (like 5$). But for those who hate binding themselves to that company, it's not a bad offer at all :flowers:

No need to worry! Looking at statistics, most Americans probably can't or simply won't anyway. Bad for me though, considering I am one of the folks hoping to make people read his produce.

Hmm noting people's race makes sense to me, bad as it may sound. Try to look at it from the other side: An arab is unlikely to be a coo clux clan fanatic and some caucasian white guy will probably not try to blow you up while shouting "Allah!". It helps limiting the range of threats. Without...

I remember a book where they used Stonehenge. It really quite amplified the story in my opinion :)

Can you sit there and read their books without buying them is what I wonder:innocent:

I think it was something from Jules Verne, but I am not sure which one. Followed closely by most of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

I join my voice to the ones of two others before me when I say Terry Pratchett's Discworld. The very idea that an author could become dull simply because of having read a certain number of his/her books seems preposterous to me. If they can keep me satisfied to the point where I read more than...

After introducing myself on the appropriate board I guess I should leave a little something to introduce my writing as well. It's a short piece that has also become the first section of a larger story. I hope you enjoy it. Sweet Erasure Ian only caught a glimpse of the steaming surface...

Hi, I just found this place and decided to make myself at home if you don't mind ;) Looking forward to getting to know you folks:flowers:
