As y’all know, I still do not have an eReader. This generally brings about withering looks from fellow writers and bibliophiles but what can I say? When it comes to the written word, I’m still pretty analog. I like to see words printed on pages in books and magazines. I still haven’t been convinced of the joys of eReaders and eBooks.
I know I’ll cave in at some point and get either a Kindle (the Devil) or Nook (not as evil as the Devil but still evil), especially since the Kindle app on my phone simply will not cut it. Once I have my eReader(s), I will probably limit usage to proofing the formatting of any work I may make available digitally and to also check out some work that may only be available as eBooks.
Since I know many of you have eReaders, allow me to make a suggestion: Keeper of Keys by Bernice L. McFadden. The book tells the story of a 32-year-old mother who learns she has AIDS and, as a result, considers taking her own life.
Until September 26th, you can purchase Keeper of Keys at Amazon for just 99¢. (Afterward, the price goes back to $2.99.)
