Great questions and answers.
I agre...Hi Al, Tony,<br /><br />Great questions and answers.<br /><br />I agree people do judge a book by it's cover too. I have many times and many times the covers are a fair representation of the books. But things are changing for me, I seldom browse through bookstores anymore. I'm on amazon a lot and often buy books based on recommendations by people I trust. I just realized I don't look at ebook covers that have been recommended, I just click on 'buy now'. If it's a paper book I do consider the cover. <br /><br />Al, I did notice the covers of your books pictured on your blog, which I think look great. It's only ebooks that have been recommended that I don't check. The covers are important to me when I'm looking through Kindle books.<br /><br />Sorry, I'm on a roll here, but you've brought up very interesting points. I'm only familiar with the pricing for Kindle, and I agree for most people the cost averages out. Between Kindle offering a 100 free books daily and .99 cent promotions for some great books, some by established authors, I can't complain.<br /><br />Great article, thanks.<br />SusieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
