Ebook wonders in store
by Cathy Macleod, www.booktaste.com.
HERE we go again, whoopee! Prepare now for wonders in store during Read An Ebook Week, which is March 6-12. It enjoyed a frenzy of ebook buying last year and the same is anticipated this time. It’s the best opportunity to practise, explore and enjoy the different delight of reading digital fiction, because publishers and online booksellers will be offering attractive deals and discounts.
At Booktaste we’ll be doing just that, but why wait? To set the mood we’re kicking off right now, this instant, with a special coupon for Ann Morven’s most recent chiller thriller whodunit, The Seventh Petal. More discounts will be available during the week and these will be announced here on March 4.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, The Seventh Petal is a mystery involving the heavyweight chump of crime fiction, Australian balladeer Sheil B. Wright. She’s a dunce at deduction but well versed in human folly. On a trekking holiday she discovers a murdered laird and is embroiled in more murders at a creepy castle, where in 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie hid a treasure to fund his army. Bumbling after the serial killer, Sheil unwittingly sets herself up as next target.
Purchasers of The Seventh Petal claim their coupon discount at the checkout by quoting KD98F. This reduces the regular price of $6.99 by 50% to a special price of $3.49. Act now. It won’t last beyond March 12.
Read An Ebook Week encourages reads on any device: desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone, you name it. And it is also the most active season since Christmas for purchase of digital reading hardware. The price of specialised ereaders, once as high as $600, has come down to near the $100 level. They are many and varied. An online browse is the best way to decide the one that suits you best. Some give direct download of the book you desire, others work on transfer from your computer. There are backlit screens similar to computers, or e-ink display for reading in daylight. Read the reviews to select your preference.
