One of them arrived on my doorstep a few weeks ago, and I wholeheartedly confess that the first thing I did was jump up and down and dance in my living room with it in my hands, thoroughly scaring the crap out of my kitties. XD So yeah, I can understand that. It's a bit more visceral. ~ "Where love and magic meet" ~ http://www.adriannebrennan.com Experience the magic of the Dark Moon series: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/books.html#darkmoon Dare to take The Oath in this erotic fantasy series: http://www.adriannebrennan.com/books.html#the_oath The future of psychic sex - Dawn of the Seraphs (m/m): http://www.adriannebrennan.com/dawnoftheseraphs.html On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 1:19 PM, Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@comcast.net> wrote: I can respect that. I like the concept too, but nothing beats that parchment! But then, hell, I still sometimes miss the comforting slow spin of the telephone wheel back when we had to dial numbers on a rotary phone! Or the more real-seeming scratch-scratch of albums on the turntable, the imperfections in the LP seeming natural. And don't get me started on the fire-like glow of an old-fashioned tube radio in the night! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrianne Brennan" <adrianne.bren...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 5:32:30 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Amazon sells more eBooks than actual books As an ebook author, I'm not shocked, but I am happy to see it. :) I encourage publishing in both mediums for accessibility, but I prefer ebooks these days.

I know an ever-increasing number of adults and kids who barelyread any books, electronic or paperback. but what they do read is a lot of web stuff, play a lot of video games, and fiddle around with iPods, cell phones, etc. Such people are positioned to respond more to devices like the Kindle. I like the Kindle and plan to own one some day. but no electronics will ever replace the real things for me. There's something great about the tactile feeling of turning the pages of a magazine or book. And it's also nice to not have to worry about power supplies, damage to electronics, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kelwyn" <ravena...@yahoo.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 4:23:45 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Amazon sells more eBooks than actual books Amazon has announced that it sold lots of Kindle eReaders this Christmas. And what's more interesting is that Amazon sold more eBooks on Christmas day than actual books. Are we moving towards a world where regular paper books are going to become a thing of the past? http://nexus404.com/Blog/2009/12/27/amazon-sells-record-number-of-kindle-ereaders-amazon-sells-more-kindle-ebooks-than-actual-books-this-christmas/ _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141665/direct/01/
