Kind of nice to be able to get a discount on all three books at once and a bit of a savings compared to prices at some other book stores.

Random things I've discovered/liked/disliked since I bought my PDA and started reading eBooks:

• Instant gratification. I see the book, I want the book, I buy the book and a minute later I can start reading the book.
• Privacy. If I don't want other people to know what I'm reading, then they don't know. Simple as that.
  
• It's actually currently cheaper for me to buy Harlequin/Silhouette romances and some other romances as eBooks direct from the USA than it is to buy them as print books in Australia. In the case of Harl/Sil romances, cheaper even than buying from Big W, which is the cheapest place I've found for the print version of the books. This is something that will be impacted by the rise and fall of the Australian dollar against the greenback, but for now, it's working in my favour.
  
• I can get the books up to two months earlier than I would if I waited to buy them in print.
  
• I can choose from more titles because not all the books hit the shelves in Australia.
• My eBook TBR pile doesn't get in the way of dusting the entire top of the sewing machine cabinet :-)

I don't see me ever stopping print book reading altogether, but I am enjoying my PDA reading experience so far.

Other random bits of news:

• I'm back on the treadmill for the 111th take at establishing an exercise routine and sticking with it.
  
• The dh bought me an iPod Shuffle. I've very hastily loaded a heap of songs onto it and can see myself getting addicted to this little device - also good for not having to share your listening choices if you don't feel like it. (Or maybe if no one else feels like it - ha!).
• After three tries at casting on, I got the knitting to go around in a circle like it was supposed to. I'll let you know what happens when I get past the relatively easy stage of ribbing and into the pattern. It could get messy.
  

And I'm writing, of course, and currently trying to force myself to print out what I have so far and read it through. I just want to keep going - maybe I will!

Upcoming:

• There WILL be a new website contest. The idea for it came to me the other morning while I was on the treadmill (see, it is worth getting on there). I plan to start running the next contest at the start of May and carry it through to the end of June with a prize run every two weeks if there's enough interest in the contest. In July we'll give away a hardback or two of my August release, 'The Boss's Unconventional Assistant' if the hardbacks have arrived and there are enough to do that after sending out review copies. I'll be back with more info about the contest - if not sooner, then May 1st!

Happy weekend,

Jennie
