Excellent Information - Awesome Articles: Kindlenookebook
Students are reading a lot more since eReaders came along. With the
proliferation of video games, movies and cell phones over the last 20
years, our children have become more tech savvy than any of us
baby-boomers ever were. The Idea of holding a traditional book seemed
foreign to them. Reading seemed to be a chore rather than time well
spent.
Mario, Donkey Kong and the various shoot 'em up games held their
attention more than any book could. "Why should I read the book when I can watch the movie?", was what I heard quite often. Those of us who love to read know the answer to that one and now students are beginning to learn the
answer as well. All it took was an electronic device with actual words in it to get their attention. I started {kindlenookebook} to make
available all the eBooks, devices, advice and opinions in one place and
to help spread a love of reading to the younger generation.

J.K. Rowling is self-publishing the e-books to the 'Harry Potter' series
Why on earth would J.K. Rowling self-publish the e-books to her highly successful series, Harry Potter? Well, lets think about this a moment. Maybe she decided that 70 percent of the profits, she will more than likely receive, are more favorable than say 20 to 40 percent - you think? Maybe she just wanted full control over her writing and to have direct contact with her fans. What does this say about the digital world we live in? Will the publishing world finally jump on the band wagon - instead of dragging their feet as they have for so long?
Self-publishing no longer holds the stigma that all writer's who choose this form of publication must be losers - quite the opposite in fact. Please comment and let me know where you stand with your opinions about self-publishing.
