eBook Readers

I'd asked my good lady wife Cindy this question a month ago - 'how will authors autograph ebooks?' - and now there's a few articles/posts on the subject.

With the Nook, there's a handy touch-screen at the bottom where an author can sign with a stylus, all that's needed is a menu option for the feature.

But really, ebook readers are not long for this world - and by that I mean a dedicated ebook reader that does nothing else - heck, even the Kindle and the Nook play music and audio files.

Once tablet PC's really begin to hit the market, why would I want something that only displays text? As much as I love gadgets, I can't bring myself to buy an ebook reader.

"Bleep You, MC Etcher!"

Urban Dictionary did not give my new word "phapp" (a new word/contraction for "phone app") a thumbs up.

Something about "thanks but not so much, with the good".

What the bleep?! Who do they think they are? Hmph.

So I signed up as an editor, and submitted it again.

Phapp is a great new word! (Would it be better as "ph'app"?) You guys could help me out by using the word 'phapp' liberally in conversation, in IM's, in SMS's, and in your blogs. Let's get the 21st Century headed in the right direction with a great new word!

My most recent phapp is the Barnes & Noble E-Reader. It actually has even more features than the Kindle phapp, which I thought was pretty snazzy already.
