I would've like to meet some werewolves. I heard most of them are hot.

Thanks Jalyn and Hannelore! :)

[Jalyn]

I'm sitting in an airport waiting to board a plane so I can get myself to YALLFest AND I'm meeting Greta there too! Woot woot!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sounds like fun! We'll be spending the weekend trying to avoid the rain!

[Samia]

wow jalyn!!! that is great!! post a picture when you meet Greta!!

I am in such a bad reader's block that I can't even see the cover of a book and it is driving me crazy!! :-(

But what helped me was doing other stuff and read bits of The fault in our stars -my all time favourite- :)"

Yeah, that was my master plan too! Until I started revising House MD!! I love, love, love that show(and House)!!

Wow! I agree with Samia, show us your pics when you two meet. =)

I'm praying for the victims of the Super Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines... the number of casualties is climbing up every time I watch the news. It's really heart breaking. =(

It looks horrendous. :(
I hope everyone in the Philippines can stay as safe as possible. <3

[Samia]

It is really horrible! I hope they can rescue people fast, I just saw that communication and electricity has been cut. I feel so bad for the helpless people!

Awe that's no fun. I had a reading slump earlier in the year and it was awful. Hopefully you get through it fast! Try re-reading one of your favorite books. That might work.

We didn't take a picture when we met up, but I'll make sure we take one before we head home!

I didn't even know what was going on. Thoughts and prayers to everyone in the Philippines and their families!

[Jalyn]

Greta and I had to split up so that we could see everyone. Right now I'm currently in line waiting to have Leigh Bardugo and Veronica Rossi sign some books! Eep! :)

[Tati]

Not many news of the Philippines have arrived here in Brazil, but I hope normalcy can be restored soon!

[Tati]

I know the Kindle is really big out there, but does anyone have a Kobo?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think Maddison has a Kobo ☺

[Tati]

Sarah, you have a Kindle, right? How do you find it?

[Abi]

Kindles are great, Tatiana. :)
Amazon have some really good sales as well.

[Tati]

The thing is:

I'm not brave enough to take my iPad with me when I have to take the bus. But my iPod touch is slowly dying. I was thinking of gettin a new iPod touch, but I'm not sure it makes that much sense, as it is pretty expensive here, and my iPod nano is working as it should.

So, I was thinking of buying an e-Reader. Here in Brazil, I can easily buy either Kobo or Kindle. But Kindle, apparently, doesn't support ePub books, and all my library is in that format. Which is why I'm leaning towards Kobo now.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I love my kindle, but it drives me nuts sometimes too. I wrecked a regular kindle within a few months because I downloaded too many books onto it and it couldn't hack it. Had to switch to a kindle fire as the web browsing and downloading is much better, and its been fine until it's birthday a week ago. today I had to completely wipe it and start again because it just kept freezing on me. its working better now, but its still not back to how it was. I think I'm just hard on kindles though because of the speed I read and how many books I read. no-one else I know has this problem!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The advantage with the kindle is that you can send books from netgalley straight to it, and keep them forever - they don't expire like the downloaded pdf's do.

[Abi]

If you already have loads of books in Epub, then the Kobo is probably the best for you. :)

They have the Kobo in mini version as well, if you don't like carrying electronics around. The kobo mini fits comfortably in one hand.

[Abi]

When i was looking at ereaders, i found a "kindle vs kobo" thing on google. Maybe you could look it up?

You could always convert your books to mobi format as you needed them. it takes a while but its worth it in the end. I use this site - http://www.zamzar.com/
you upload files, tell them what format you want them in, and they email you back a link so that you can download the file in the requested format. its very useful!

[Abi]

There's loads of comparison videos here:

[Tati]

Thanks, girls!

You've been very helpful!

Abbie, I followed your advice and found some pages comparing Kindle Paperwhite with Kobo Glo.

As I'd only be able to get my hands on either of them in December (b-day+Christmas), I still have some time to make my choice.

The problem is not even carrying electronics around, but having them stolen...

that would be a problem :(

[Abi]

I have that worry too. :( I even hate getting my phone out on the bus, especially near Christmas.

I don't like having electronics on buses either. they're so easily snatched out of your hand :(

[Tati]

As I spent quite a while on buses (far more than I'd like), I do use my iPod Touch to read on the bus. The thing is, this iPod is so old that having it stolen would actually be a favor LOL. Not so with a new reading device.

And carrying an actual book around is too much weight. Some people do use those big Samsung smartphones on the bus, so I'm guessing that an e-reader would be kind of okay (less troublesome/worrisome than an iPad).

[Abi]

I went through some of the videos on youtube, and found one comparing the kindle paperwhite to the kobo glo.(Those were the options you had, weren't they?)

I think the ipad would be a worry!

[Abi]

It might be a good idea to compare the amount of ebooks each site has.
Amazon have loads of freebies, but i'm not sure about Whsmiths.

[Tati]

Yeah, which is why I only use it when I'm home...

Abbie, thanks for the video!

Question about the Kindle Paperwhite: do the pages turn quickly? Or is there a lag?

[Abi]

I have the paperwhite, and the pages do turn quick. :)
The light is really good on it as well.

[Tati]

Good point about the freebies! I'd be getting a lot of books for free, since buying books abroad (even digital ones) is ridiculously expensive, thanks to the taxes we have to pay on international credit card transactions (6,38% of the purchase), not to mention the exchange rates and bank fees.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

the freebies are definitely a bonus on the kindle! I have thousands ☺

[Greta]

At YALL fest with Jalyn listening to Libba Bray rock out with her band Tigerbeat.Crazy!

Love that song!

ha ha! if a friend gave me a copy of teardrop I'd ask her what I'd done wrong! I think you're a lauren kate fan though?

[Abi]

Every time i walk past Teardrop in Asda, i look at it in disgust.. Ha ha.
Luckily it's on the top shelf so it's harder to see.

[Trinity]

Finally getting a chance to read while everyone is watching a movie in the family room (:

At least you're seeing the best part of the book when you walk past it in asda though ;)

Yay! I hate it when I keep getting interrupted when I'm trying to read!

[Trinity]

Exactly! Last time I tried to ignore my sister by putting on earbuds and listen to music while readin gbut she just yanked them out and just continued talking, this is the part of time while everyone is distracted and I am able to read in peace ^.^

[Sarah Elizabeth]

yeah, we don't get signings over here either :(
