Sheila's Guests and Reviews

Why I like ebooks... I can pack my kindle for a trip in the tiniest space in my bag and have a whole library at my fingertips. I can read five whole books on a plane flight from the US to England without doing my back in carrying them around. Why I don't like ebooks... That kindle gets pretty overloaded after a while and the pages turn as if they're glued with molasses. But help is at hand! Just reset it to "factory settings" and go to Amazon to download the books I really want for my trip. Then turning pages and changing books is a snap, just like new again! Of course, kindle batteries run down after a while and paper books never do. But I've got a solution to that one too--just carry a mini kobo in your pocket for emergencies. So now I've got two libraries--four if you count the one on my computer and the one on Amazon--and I've plenty to read. But there are still so many books out there... Please can somebody tell me how to download extra reading ...

The virtual ebook fair looks set to continue through summer and it's filled with great reads for your kindle, kobo, computer or whatever ereader you like to use. (Don't forget, if you haven't got an ereader you can always download one FREE to your machine and read ebooks the same way you read this blog!) I've got another Five Minute Bible Story at http://sheiladeethstudies.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/coming-soon-from-cape-arago-press.html   for you to sample (and share with your children, grandchildren and more). Then if you head on over to http://samplesaturday.blogspot.co.uk/ you'll find lots more virtual book booths just through the gate. Enjoy! I'll hope to see you there!

It's Sample Saturday again and I'm posting an excerpt from my Five Minute Bible Stories Series (TM) at http://sheiladeethstudies.blogspot.com again in honor of the event. Great for bedtime stories (or so I'm told) and for Sunday School (which I can verify because I've used them there). They're even fun for Bible studies--we used them in a summer women's group one year. So head on over and see familiar stories through slightly different eyes, then visit the virtual fair at http://samplesaturday.blogspot.co.uk / for more samples of writing just waiting to be read on your computer, kindle, kobo, etc... Hope to see you there!

Are ebooks real? What about virtual ebooks? I'm reading Zvonek 08 in paperback at the moment and thoroughly enjoying myself. It's definitely a "real" book, but it's made from a collection of ebook novellas published by Gypsy Shadow Publishing. The hero's a wonderful cat called Zvonek who happens to also be a special agent--08 rather than 007, but if you read the books for yourself you'll soon understand the numbers. Meanwhile I'm posting short stories from my Five Minute Bible Stories Series (TM) on my Bible blog as part of the Virtual EBook Fair's Sample Saturday event. Head on over to https://www.facebook.com/events/381254251993089/ , or enter via the garden gate at http://samplesaturday.blogspot.co.uk/ to read excerpts from lots of great books. Or wander over to http://sheiladeethstudies.blogspot.com to read a five minute story. Hope to see you there. And I hope you'll agree after reading these pieces that ebooks, even ebooks at vir...
