Cemetery Dance is now offering ebooks. This is exciting stuff!
I'm new to the ebook world (always a day late when it comes to technology), but I have arrived! As of. . . yesterday. Don't laugh at me.
My wife owns a Kindle, and she's been on it constantly ever since her birthday. But I like the feel of a book in my hands. It just doesn't feel the same when you fall asleep reading -- the pages are supposed to mash over your nose, but a Kindle just smacks you in the eye.
Yesterday I discovered I can read the Kindle books on my computer. Awesome! (Or, in California terms, "Far Out, Dude!) I am totally sold on the ebooks. I mean, come on, you can read the suckers on the beach.
A few benefits:
1. I didn't have to drive 100 miles to get the book I need.
2. Don't have to wait for the mail. Amazon has always been an option -- but then there's that long eternity checking the mail box every day hoping my books arrived. Can the mail get any slower in small town America?
3. The price is a lot less when purchasing an ebook.
4. Oh, this is important -- The pages turn quicker! I must have it set on some old persons blind setting, because I was breezing along. It was the same day I saw the news story that Borders was closing. So long brick and mortar stores!, You'll be missed. . . a little.
A few titles familiar to King fans:
- Lilja's Library. This is a must read for any King fan. More than just a typical companion book, Lilja's Library is chalk full of his reviews and articles. The sheer diversity of the book -- all things King -- makes it noteworthy. And, it's just $6.99. http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/e_lilja01
- Stephen King: The Non Fiction. http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/e_wood01
- Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished REVISED EDITION. http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/e_wood02
- Dark Forces. This offering really hypes the wow factor. Dark Forces is the collection The Mist was first published in. The special edition eBook features a new afterword from editor Kirby McCauley. So if you don't see me for a while, I've dived back into the world of The Mist. http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/e_mccaul01
