Publishing is changing at lightning speed.<br /><br />Lacey, I agree -- the biggest advantage of ebooks is that they're so very tidy and space-saving.Barbara Hannayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077064170686768953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33374572.post-25811653519805680242011-06-16T13:38:56.274-07:002011-06-16T13:38:56.274-07:00Congratulations, Barbara!

Most people I talked to did not know what an ebook was. It's all changed so quickly, hasn't it?Magdalena Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674381212999247449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33374572.post-3324442228084071772011-06-14T18:38:59.489-07:002011-06-14T18:38:59.489-07:00It is very sad to see the bookshops closing but I&...It is very sad to see the bookshops closing but I'm looking forward to joining the ereader revolution too.

I thin...They are just discussing this on the radio. I think the GST should never have been applied to books. Books are especially expensive in Australia compared to the UK eg. I do support my local book shop (Petrachs, I'll give it a plug!!) But I also buy books from overseas. <br />I doubt I will ever have an eReader. I just love a book, I don't feel as comfortable reading on a screen, but it is fantastic that out of print books are now available. Those people who missed out on your back list are going to be very lucky!!!!2pawhttp://cindy2paw.typepad.com/2paw/noreply@blogger.com
