Authors love to know when they're connecting with readers.<br /><br />Hey - I hadn't thought about using an eReader on an exercise machine. Cool! And yes, it's easy to turn the page.<br /><br />I also haven't got a magazine subscribtion on mine either, yet, but I'm sure that's next. I'm staying away from Angry Birds, though. hee hee.Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-53089841521329773352012-01-25T19:34:07.777-08:002012-01-25T19:34:07.777-08:00I love my Nook Color.

(nice to have in-store service like that). Now I'm streaming Netflix videos and I've discovered Angry Birds. (I started playing it for the first time a couple weeks ago at 9:30pm and didn't stop until 2:00am). It's addictive. And as my paper Equus magazine subscription was running out, I opted to subscribe to the electronic version on my Nook. I love my Nook Color. <br /><br />Another great advantage to eReaders is they are so handy to use on exercise machines. So much easier to "turn the page" with the swipe of a finger than trying to keep paper pages open. Today, while briskly walking on the treadmill, I was reading an eBook and loving it. It made the exercise time fly by.<br /><br />Guess what book was I reading on the treadmill? I was reading yours...The Girl Who Remembered Horses. I'm only about 1/4 through, but immediately, in the first few pages, I was impressed with how beautifully and descriptively it is written. I really connect with Sahara and her love for animals. I'm intrigued by Sahara's dreams and the world she lives in, and what has become of it. I just finished chapter 15 - a bit of a cliff hanger leading into 16. I'm worried about Sahara and what Dojo is about to do. I'll have to get back on the treadmill tomorrow and see how this encounter unfolds.<br /><br />Thank-you for the book. I'm enjoying it!Once Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-4323804689435056732012-01-22T22:40:23.110-08:002012-01-22T22:40:23.110-08:00Dreaming - Revolution is wonderful!

A page-turner.<br /><br />That's awesome that you go back and forth between all of your electronic gadgets, and it keeps the same place in your book? Wow. It's amazing to me how far technology has come just in the last 1-2 years. It makes you wonder what's next??Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865330614535830838.post-21089633443857100672012-01-22T15:14:22.554-08:002012-01-22T15:14:22.554-08:00Smart you to remember to take a paperback for thos...Smart you to remember to take a paperback for those times you can't use the electronic reader. I didn't think about that, but the airplane magazine was a fair alternative. <br />I love my eReader and I love that I can get books from the library for it! That, and free books because I'm an Amazon Prime member.<br />I also love that I can access the book on my Kindle, my iPhone, computer or iPad.... and it always knows where I am. Cool beans! <br />Revolution sounds intriguing. I've read books with similar themes before, but can't for the life of me remember their titles. But, the parallel lives theme intrigues me.Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.com
