I guess that shows how much I know. :) Or possibly it was a dumb thief...Susan M.

I love the easy access to books without the extra weight and bookshelf space, but part of the joy of buying books was the hunt in the bookstore for that book that intrigued me. I've found so many great writers by browsing. Plus, how are readers going to find OUR books if the online stores don't give us better browsing options?Barbarahttp://aneclecticmuse.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22902306.post-42005875980251943282011-06-28T15:34:01.121-04:002011-06-28T15:34:01.121-04:00YES!

I don't want an automated something-or-other telling me what I would like to read. I want to see all the possibilities.

I've had to set a budget or I would be buying every book out there.<br /><br />I still am at the stage where I only know how to bookmark a page. As you know I do interviews, and sometimes in a physical book I like to highlight so I can go back and ask a question. Haven't figured that part out yet.

I love my Nook,...Susan, I couldn't agree more. I love my Nook, but finding new books to read is a horror. Spoon fed? It's more like having it crammed down your throat. No I don't want to see the best seller list. No I don't care what Oprah recommends. Give me a virtual store and allow me to browse the shelves! Hey! lets open our own on-line bookstore and do it right. Of course the only books we'd have to sell would be ours, but it's a start!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
