But like Janna (post 24) I would really like the choice of, if I do finally break down and buy one, buying the book and getting an e copy at the same time. It might actually ease me into the world of books on little machines. Kind of like how some blu-ray discs have the bluray and the digital copy so it can be put on an MP3 player. One thing though. If that were the only way I could get the next book in the Magic series, I'd start saving my money now so I would have a new one by the time it comes out! I am not a huge fan of the E readers.

Mostly I download authors that I have never before read and if it turns out I love the book, I go out and buy it. I cannot shell out money for a book that at the end of the day turns out to suck big time and the libraries in my country doesn't stock urban fantasy. I downloaded magic strikes from the net , loved it and now I order the books from amazon or buy it from ebay. Piracy may be wrong but it also gives me access to books that would never be available in my local bookshop.

I think that would be cool. You know, I totally wouldn’t mind if they made like a special edition with ebbok bundled in. I think that would be cool.

Though the ability to get books the day they come out and not having to worry about how many copies the company got is something I'm looking forward to. Tho all though I have the book order in paperback, if it doesn't arrive by the release date I do get a little ansy wanting to read it, and may go to try to find it online. Another thing that has slightly bothered me is when you buy a CD, it is almost a given you can put it on your computer and then on to whatever music player you choose. With books(unless someone can correct me), even if you buy the hard copy, you don't have access to the e copy, even if you were to buy it from a internet site like amazon. I know this might sound selfish to authors like you Ilona and Gordon....sorry, just been thinking about this for a few days I wish I could use the kindle, since it seems to be one of the more stable e-book markets on the net, but alas I live in Canada where it is not supported yet. :( While I would like to convert totally to the e- format I am unwilling to until the formats become more stable, or the kindle gets here.

Always been. Can read a new book everyday. Can forget about sleeping or eating while I am doing it. Discover this genre earlier this year, starting buying books from Amazon 4 or 5 books per week. It got to a point there was no place in any of our libraries to fit another book. My hubby decided to give me a kindle instead. He is a tech guy and was probably hoping I didn't like it. I love my kindle. It has gone everywhere with me. Easy to carry. The only complaint I have is that some books are still not available there and that if I ever meet Ilona ..where will she sign my book??? I am an avid reader. Always been.

I'm a librarian who just spent the past 4 years in a country with no library and no book stores. Every time we went home for the summer we had to buy a new suitcase to spread out the weight of my books. The Kindle has made traveling soooo much easier for us and I don't have to buy books to last me a year every summer. And I'll be able to buy Magic Bleeds as soon as it comes out! I also love my Kindle.
