A more obscure read: Unlikely Allies

Even though Mr. Bell pans it, I like to read these more obscure history titles. I decided to use it as a test. Inkmesh reports it is available for both Kindle and Nook but Kindle is $1.32 cheaper...

Boston 1775: Unlikely Events and Unlikely Allies

Interestingly, the other book Mr. Bell discusses in this post is only available on Kindle (and under an older title).

NPR story on how E-Books will change reading and writing -- Really?

Some discussion on how writers should change to make E-Books successful. I think this is over-analyzing.

Instead, build a good story that hangs together.

Book comparisons

I shot a bunch of links to book reviews that are interesting to me that I looked to see the prices on Inkmesh. Most, but not all were available as E-Books. A few were not available on Nook - Kindle only.

Here are the links to the posts in one place for easy reference.

Score! A free E-Book that I WANT to read!

Barnes and Noble has James Rollins' Garden of Aden available as an E-Book for Free! I'm a fan of James Rollins' researched fiction. In fact, this book is on my "Books to Read" list. So I downloaded and will use my iPhone's Barnes and Noble Reader until I get my nook.
