Thats not in point of fact so much coming from an amateur publisher like me, however its all I may say after diving into your posts. Nice grammar and vocabulary. No longer like other blogs. You really recognize what you?re speaking approximately too. So much that you just made me want to explore more.

Really, my only niggle is the difficulty in flicking back to clarify something. Although I'm not a big fan of the highlighted passages - they tend to interrupt the flow of my reading because I end up trying to figure out why they were given prominence.<br />Love the lightweight feel of it - just waiting for its cover to come in the post and then it's going to find a permanent home in my bag!Susan Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599263535046963833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8721250833413857867.post-33388911099386288292011-08-10T22:21:07.094+01:002011-08-10T22:21:07.094+01:00Great Post.

The thesaurus! Gone are my days of sounding out unfamiliar words (It doesn't happen often, swear) but it's a great addition. That and highlighted passages, you can see what line(s) previous readers found poignant in the story and add your own. <br /><br />Rockage.Sue Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923271433901032510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8721250833413857867.post-6603335208009431732011-08-10T20:41:30.000+01:002011-08-10T20:41:30.000+01:00Good blog sis and you're very welcome :)

I was distressed having to leave them there, so lots of people around the pool got some free books. That's a nice thing, however, not always appreciated.<br />I have entirely too many books on shelves back home with not much to do with them other than give to charity. Not that I begrudge it, but think of all of those unloved books just laying around. Kindle does have a nice ecological side to it also; less cutting down of trees in the future!<br />Brilliant bit of kit, highly recommended. No pages flapping in the wind, no heavy books to carry, read in bright sunlight, built in Thesaurus, internet connectivity....it's got quite a lot going for it.Rob Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03811461582477337477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8721250833413857867.post-12267048073651207152011-08-10T18:27:59.310+01:002011-08-10T18:27:59.310+01:00Great post.

But I must admit that when my arthritis is flaring up I wish I had a Kindle because the pain of holding a book open is...well literally painful. I think this might be the answer to my prayers in that regard.<br /><br />Something to start saving for I think.cornflakegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396631227289843569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8721250833413857867.post-48456477733297059442011-08-10T17:58:00.411+01:002011-08-10T17:58:00.411+01:00Iagree with every single thing you said - all the ...Iagree with every single thing you said - all the positives & the 2 small negatives. I have been holding back on using mine as I'm off backpaking & I want to save most of what I've bought already for on the road, being as I will be on a budget!I'm thinkin it will be a godsend travelling - books are god damn heavy & I spent a fortune on mags the last time I backpacked. Have downloaded all the free classics also :)blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01486684058871689243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8721250833413857867.post-70935665564771703892011-08-10T17:43:28.028+01:002011-08-10T17:43:28.028+01:00I have been debating this I am
