An E Reader…At Last

Gem Sivad's Five Card Stud on my funky e-reader. Buy this book. You won't regret it, trust me! (Ellora's Cave… BUY HERE! GO! NOW!)

I chose the Sony pocket reader. Five-inch screen and a groovy pink, a veritable beaut of hand-held goodness. The first book I loaded on there was Gem Sivad's Five Card Stud…and I haven't looked back. First, the book is bloody excellent so far, and second, the screen appears just like a book page. The only downside is it doesn't have a backlight—something I discovered once I got it home—but considering the price, I'm not complaining.

So, I'm a happy camper now. Reading e-books on the computer or laptop didn't really do it for me. It was too much like looking at a manuscript and reminded me of my editing days, so I tended to switch into editor mode instead of reader mode. Now I'm just a reader, and I can't say enough how wicked this e-reader is. It even makes little bookmarks as though I'd turned down the page corner myself, and you can make typed notes or handwritten ones with the stylus. There's a dictionary too. Can't you just tell I love it?

The saying is true. All good things come to those who wait!
