Do you want paper or electronic?

Published on November 18, 2015November 16, 2015 by Jean M. Cogdell10 Comments

Remember the question, “Paper or plastic?”

What does this have to do with reading and writing?

Because I don’t believe hardback or paperback books are going the way of the dinosaurs.

I’ve two daughters, two son-in-laws, and five grandchildren. Although, they each have e-readers everyone of them prefers paper books to ebooks. They like the feel of a book. They all enjoy browsing the library stacks and bookstore shelves.

They even enjoy online shopping for books. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy the postman delivering a package to their door.

On occasion they do download an ebook, usually when they are in a hurry or traveling.

Me, I love my Kindle! I read more and faster on my e-reader. But I have to admit there is something profoundly personal about words on paper.

After the following article Darcy Pattison, I’m convinced more than ever that paperback books will last a very long time.

Think that as authors we need to make our books available in both.

I don’t foresee, in the immediate future, the demise of either medium.

Today I added two FREE reads to my Kindle

Don’t you just love a bargain? Especially when it’s free.

Did I say two? Well make that 3 Free e-books! (read below…)

Can’t ask for better than FREE.

I love Janet Evanovich so her endorsement was enough for me to give Fifteen Minutes to Live a read through Kindle Unlimited for FREE. Of course, $. 99 is super cheap.

“Phoef Sutton has a wonderful and unique voice. This is a romantic tale, full of suspense and human emotion. It’s also funny in its own special way. Once I started it, I couldn’t stop,” Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Fifteen Minutes to Live by Phoef Sutton

Kindle Price:$0.99

Kindle Unlimited: Free

The second book that caught my eye was –

Sara’s Game. Why? Because I love a good thriller. What is more frightening than missing children?

The last day before summer break, her three children have gone missing from their schools, all at the same time. And the note under her windshield wiper asks one foreboding question: Are you ready to play the game?

Sara’s Game (The Sara Winthrop Thriller Series Book 1) by Ernie Lindsey

(911 customer reviews) (Look at all those stars!)

Kindle Price:$0.00

Plus For a limited time,

read the second book in the thriller series, Sara’s Past, for free. Copy and paste this link in your browser >>>bit.ly/FreeSarasPast or click the link.

So, looks like I’m set for the weekend and then some. What are y’all reading? I’ll let you know which book I read first and pop off a review one Friday soon.
