My kindle has opened a new world for me. If I read a review of a book that tickles my fancy in THE NEW YORK TIMES, I download it for half the hardback price. And immediately, I can start reading. Even better, I can download the first chapter for free to see if I like it. How cool is that?<br /><br />Have a healing weekend. Come check out my blog, WRITING IN THE CROSSHAIRS, pull up a cyber-chair, and chat for awhile. RolandRoland D.

Maybe I could make it a freebie.<br /><br />Jemi, I heard or read once that airport books don't last long unless they sell. At a major airport with many bookstores, a book lasted as long as it took the guy to stock all the stores, then as he began the circle again, if it wasn't selling, it was replaced by a different title.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-90810813542316515112010-04-17T15:54:40.425-05:002010-04-17T15:54:40.425-05:00Helen, I may never read the Vince Flynn books, but...Helen, I may never read the Vince Flynn books, but I sure enjoy your disclaimers.

I buy my books other places, before I go to the airport. I like these big ones that have everything. My favorites are probably <a href="http://www.tattered.com/" rel="nofollow"> Tattered Cover </a> in downtown Denver and <a href="http://www.foyles.co.uk" rel="nofollow"> Foyles </a> at Charing Cross Road in London.

There was a time when I used to travel three times a week, and within a month or two, I had exhausted all that all the airport bookstores had to offer. <br />If airport bookstores started stocking one shelf of books not by known authors, and not on the bestseller list, not only will they do a lot more business, the entire publishing industry will benefit.<br /><br />~ RaynaNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.com
