But -- I love reading on my iPhone too. I use the Kindle app for deals from Amazon, books I can't wait to get my hands on, and books you can't find anywhere else. I love the instant gratification. I love the knowledge that I have plenty to read right there on my phone. And I can read at night without bothering my husband. ;-)
So I have a foot in both worlds, and I'm happy that way. I wouldn't want to give up either method of reading books. As far as I'm concerned, the more ways to read, the better for everyone.
So I'm very happy that my upcoming e-novella, ONE FINE FIREMAN, will now also be available in print. (Many have asked me about this.) The e-release date is November 13, and the print version will be available on December 4. Keep in mind that it won't be in bookstores. It can only be ordered from Amazon or another online book retailer. I'll also hunt down those links, but for now, here's the Amazon link:

A smoking-hot prequel to Jennifer Bernard’s fabulous Bachelor Firemen series. If you love the novels of Rachel Gibson and Bella Andre, then this is for you!Kirk, aka Thor, one of San Gabriel’s infamous Bachelor Firemen, certainly lives up to his nickname. He’s tall, handsome, and has a chiseled body worthy of any Viking god. But he’d give it all up for one glance from her.Sweet, shy Maribel has no idea he’s been pining for her. There’s nothing he’d like better than to sweep her off her feet and show her just how exquisite their love could be. But Kirk has a secret and he won’t let anyone get close, least of all the sexiest woman he’s ever met.Can a feisty little dog and an even feistier little boy help these star-crossed lovers to find the true love they both so richly deserve?
So how do you prefer to read? Print, ebook, or both?
Before I got my Kindle, I was solidly in the print book category - in fact, I never thought I'd get an e-reader. When I bought the Kindle, I thought it was strictly for the NY Times... $20/month rather than $60 for home delivery. Then I read a free e-book and I was hooked.
ReplyDeleteMy only worry now is that my e-books will- at some point in the future- be unavailable. I've used computers for over 30 years, and I've had many files become inaccessible as the machines advanced. Think Lotus 2.1 spreadsheets. Then where is my investment?
Whereas I STILL have actual books that I bought in high school. In the (ahem) 70's.
I've already pre-ordered for my Kindle! Can't wait to read it.
Just as libraries depend on publishers, publishers depend on libraries for a large portion of their sales. Sales to libraries can account for 7 to 9 percent of a publisher's overall revenue, two major publishers told The New York Times. Like it or not, publishers and libraries are locked in a relationship of mutual interdependence.
