I love reading the Royal Spyness series, but I also just have to listen to Katherine reading and brilliantly acting out all the parts.

And some titles I own in several formats and multiple copies. I do like the idea of buying a new hardback and getting a code for the eBook. And Amazon/Audible are doing a deal that for at least some of the books that have been made available in "wispersync for voice", if you have purchased the Kindle format you can buy the Audible audio for a reduced price, sometimes very reduced. I have taken advantage of that a number of times, when I want to be able to read and listen to the same title, sometimes at the same time, sometimes at different times.<br /><br />By the way, I loved Heirs and Graces, which I bought in eBook format the day it came out. When the library gets it in hardback (the order was delayed) I will read the real book, and at some time I plan to buy the audible version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636632642432287906.post-68283495519451370742013-08-13T09:06:46.203-07:002013-08-13T09:06:46.203-07:00Interesting suggestion and one that I will pass al...Interesting suggestion and one that I will pass along to publishers.

Some DVDs have the option to download a copy of the movie now. It would be handy to have one to page through, and one to travel with!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417173218879938738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636632642432287906.post-32355099698756247282013-08-12T19:46:07.660-07:002013-08-12T19:46:07.660-07:00I couldn't get to the facebook page, so I'...I couldn't get to the facebook page, so I'm glad that you wrote about this here as well. I'm glad other people enjoy ebooks, but I find them very frustrating (just a simple thing like turning back to re-read something takes forever). I'll take the printed book every time.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636632642432287906.post-60529698456440743702013-08-12T15:48:55.054-07:002013-08-12T15:48:55.054-07:00Long live the printed book!Long live the printed book!Libby Doddhttp://www.libbydoddart.comnoreply@blogger.com
