Kindle on my Mind

I always pick the worst times to try new things.  I'm up to my eyeballs in deadlines right now, but I've joined two new groups dedicated to learning about/and promoting e titles on Kindle/Nook, etc.

I find the topic endlessly fascinating, and there are so many aspects of it.  Formatting documents to the various platforms, designing covers (and sometimes over and over again), and the most worrying aspect, how to get the word out about my E books/stories.

I've added a page on the Blogger version of this blog, but people aren't finding it.  (I don't think blog readers are used to looking for additional information pages ON a blog.)  I need to put something up on my Lorna web site as well, but just haven't gotten around to it.  (That'll have to happen when some of the deadlines are past, too.)

I know this is probably as interesting as sawdust to most of you guys, and I apologize.  But . . . I can't help but be interested in the whole new world open to me.  I'm finding new readers every day and that's exciting.

What's piqued your interest lately?

  1. I love new technology, especially all the new toys I can dream of getting.

  2. As Dru said, I, too, love new technology! Not that I always "get" it, though. And by "get" I mean that I don't always understand the new technology (or am able to, um, manipulate it) and I can't always (darn it!) afford it. Sigh. (Nope I WASN'T the winner of last Friday's Mega Millions. Double sigh.) Still, I'm fascinated by what the new phones, computers, e-books, etc. can allow us to do. Wow. And I totally understand your interest in getting your books on the latest gadgets! Good for you!! Actually, I find the inner workings of writing, publishing, and selling the product ALMOST as fun as reading the final result. Keep it up. We're all better consumers when we know just how much time and effort goes into delivering that wonderful story into our very grateful hands. Keep up the terrific work!
