He hops his chair over, uses a pencil in his teeth to operate the keyboard, and the next thing you see is the door closing, a pile of ropes on the chair, and the cover of an eBook titled "Harry Houdini- How to Escape From Anything" on the Kindle.</i><br /><br />HA! I love this! That would be great. :)~ Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791869629938128432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-49700928541308155362010-11-09T13:23:07.763-08:002010-11-09T13:23:07.763-08:00Geeze, I forgot there was a contest element to thi...Geeze, I forgot there was a contest element to this -- a chance to win one of David's books was one of the reasons I came here to read the post.<br /><br />Great post by the way.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />Thanks for the contest,<br />Greg "The Undead Rat" Fisher<br /><br />theundeadrat (@) gmail (.) comThe Undead Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991219320223127724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-20521940846035071422010-11-08T23:31:09.211-08:002010-11-08T23:31:09.211-08:00I like the commercial concept and it's a great...I like the commercial concept and it's a great slogan for eReaders (and books) in general: Escape.

A commercial like the one you described would be awesome.<br /><br />The only negative for me with ebooks is that I'm afraid physical bookstores will disappear. That would be sad. There is nothing like a bookstore/coffee shop combined. I would live in one if I could. Now I am off to check out Crossroad Press :)<br /><br />deedeekm@gmail.comDee Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077141911351737390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-56962880013075940262010-11-07T15:27:44.274-08:002010-11-07T15:27:44.274-08:00I appreciate the comments and thoughts.

Ms Jimmi - you might be interested to know that we are on the verge (fingers crossed) of getting to bring back the Johnstone books for Kindle from Crossroad Press. If we do you can get them for about $2.99 apiece...if that helps. <br /><br />We can use all the support we can get. Also, just put up (for free) the catalog of ALL of our books (about 70) ... free download with free fiction...double goodness.<br /><br />http://store.crossroadpress.comDavid Niall Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392451335955557831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-82494360656882861982010-11-06T19:24:33.377-07:002010-11-06T19:24:33.377-07:00I understand what you are saying.

I love the feel of the book in my hand, the smell, turning the pages the whole enchilada. I began reading at an early age due to my health and looked forward to the new journey when I opened my book to begin reading. I know many readers prefer readers over books but I still am not sure.<br />Would love to win so I can read my first Wilson novel.

Nowadays, cell phones everywhere. Some day a director is going to forget, and have a character use a cell phone during WW II.<br />bmcbroom at gmail dot comBetty: Reflections with Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894884207625468897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-34112014679837717742010-11-06T12:56:27.064-07:002010-11-06T12:56:27.064-07:00I read Chet Williamson's SoulStorm years ago i...I read Chet Williamson's <i>SoulStorm</i> years ago in college and loved it. It was a lot more than <i>Introduction to Statistical Methods</i>. And I remembered that story through a couple of decades of life.<br /><br />A few weeks ago, David Niall Wilson's <b>Crossroad Press</b> made <i>Soulstorm</i> available in e-book and audio book format. (The audio book was read by Chet himself and he did a very good job).<br /><br />I purchased the audio book and got e-book copies in all formats for free! So not only did I get to listen to an old beloved story, I get to put it on my Kindle (when I win one) and read it again any time I choose.<br /><br />I can't describe how much I loved reconnecting with an old story. Nor the surprise at how much of the story I'd forgotten. It was immensely satisfying.<br /><br />Thank you for that David.<br />Greg "The Undead Rat" FisherThe Undead Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991219320223127724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129835172717195873.post-56844002916161234712010-11-06T03:04:30.273-07:002010-11-06T03:04:30.273-07:00I feel sad that sometimes so many books that weren...I feel sad that sometimes so many books that weren't "Bestsellers" slide off into oblivion. I grew up with a schizophrenic mother who would throw my stuff away as a teen--including my books. I used to have the whole Logan's Run Trilogy, the Planet of the Apes paperbacks and comic books, etc. (You get the idea.) They would be thrown away while i would be out. I would try to hide them but she would somehow find them. It saddens me that sometimes the only qualification for books is what sells. Not all Best Sellers are really great books--some of them are instantly forgettable. Some of those old pulp horror novels and other books (I read more than horror) stay with you for days. <br /><br />I am glad Amazon makes it easier to find old books but sometimes people treat them like commodities and want to sell them for outlandish sums of money, like Johnstone's Devil's series where they can fetch somewhere upwards of $229 for a mass market paperback!

When I get caught up with everything, I'm going to make a point to fix that.<br /><br />I really like what's going on at Crossroad Press. There are some great titles by some awesome authors at an affordable price.<br /><br />-NealBookhound78https://www.blogger.com/profile/01920498357072643664noreply@blogger.com
