I’m giddy. I just received my eBookwise, my very first e-book reader. I bought it a few days ago because H.E. gave me the money to do so, and after many months of thinking about it, I finally said, “Just do it.” I mean, why not? I’ve been working in e-publishing for only four years. I might as well try reading some of the books I cover on an actual e-book reader, right? What a novel idea! It being in…

I imagine that people the world over are busily reading the final Harry Potter book and staying away from anything that might spoil the ending for them before they’ve finished.
