| 8:31 pm | Brent_Watson41: | @jemifraser We have laptops here in Maine for middle school students. Where do you teach #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | jamieharrington: | @Jinxie_G shhhhhhh,,, #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | kparra: | I get hooked on good openers & ready to buy @RebeccAgent samples are fine, actually great, as promotion…a chapter, not a book #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | rj_anderson: | @lights_aurora Yes — I’m no luddite, I normally love shiny toys, but I hate the thought of books being replaced. #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | JessieHarrell: | @BethanyEdits actually, Kindle is not backlit, so you need a light to read it & it doesn’t hurt ur eyes #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | kellybarnhill: | @RebeccAgent Newspapers are different – content changes every five minutes, you know. We don’t give newspapers as gifts. #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | LiaKeyes: | RT @marjorielight: I like the permanency of books…holding one my grandfather owned, reading my fav childhood books to my kids #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | bonnieadamson: | @SuePinto @peg366 @dawnmetcalf @f_rancesca @debbieohi @jemifraser We need a TNG fan club, obviously #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | EgmontGal: | I once reread New Moon on a flight sitting across aisle from boss. He thought I was working. Wouldn’t teens like same concept? #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | tehawesomersace: | @BethanyEdits No eye strain, they have this e-ink feature that makes them look just like a regular book. #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | thaliachaltas: | I don’t have kindle/iphone, but I see things change & I’m willing to just write &allow someone guide me. I still wanna write! #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | JennBailey: | @LoulieArt They do. Not lovely actor voices but not bad for electronic. And you can choose male or female voice. #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @f_rancesca Thanks! #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | crissachappell: | @emilytastic margaret atwood had that online book-signing machine… #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | emilytastic: | @Brent_Watson41 I’m from Maine! They actually went through with that? I thought it was a “what if.” #kidlitchat |
| 8:31 pm | marybrebner: | My students who read super-fast & are always begging me to go to the library would LOVE a kindle… #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | DanyelleLeafty: | @marjorielight Me too. Physical books house memories I’m not sure e-books would be able to. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | amithaknight: | @LoulieArt reading feature not as good as an audiobook. i like being able to turn it on and off though and read along. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | Shelltex: | Lockers are a thing of the past here. Textbooks go home and stay home until end of the year. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | CarrieRyanchat: | also, as a former law student, books could be instantly updated with current law – would be cheaper than “pocket parts” 1 a year #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | debbieohi: | @lisa_schroeder I read books on my iPhone all the time. I love the idea of having a choice of 100s of bks everywhere I go. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | f_rancesca: | Also, ask any music nerd. Records SOUND different from CDs, mp3s. People adore their records. Albums still released on vinyl. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | KayCassidy: | Are there any big success stories yet for YA or MG e-book sales? Any standouts that are setting the trend? #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | kellybarnhill: | @EgmontGal I read The Graveyard Book for free the second it was available. Then I bought copies for my nephews. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | jemifraser: | @Brent_Watson41 Small city in Canada – no laptops here! I teach same age group #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | chasingray: | I really don’t see it as an age thing – old buy paper, young buy e-book, but a socioeconomic divide. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | RebeccAgent: | @kellybarnhill because the bottom will find out and the message being sent is you deserve this book for nothing #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | jeanie_w: | @Joyce_Lansky Scary thought. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | Daeanarah: | #kidlitchat now if someone wanted to give me a kindle to try out I’d accept but as far as buying, no-I still usemy desktop for typingstories |
| 8:32 pm | gregpincus: | @Zoe_Walton Yes, a strong platform really helps. Which is why it’s a good idea to have one! #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | mgbuehrlen: | I don’t have a Kindle, but I have Kindle for iPhone and I love it. I got used to the small screen size surprisingly fast. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | AnnaZiska: | I Agree! RT @JessieHarrell: I love Kindle b/c I get free sample & dont have invest time & $ in book I dont like. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | DDHearn: | @gregpincus Being farsighted, I could never get used to reading on the small screen of a phone. #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | EgmontGal: | @rj_anderson @lights_aurora my kindle doesn’t have me worrying about the end of books, tho books (and my job) are so impt to me #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | amithaknight: | RT @EgmontGal: once reread New Moon on a flight sitting across aisle from boss. — LOL!!! awesome! #kidlitchat |
| 8:32 pm | rj_anderson: | Though I wish we had the complete Calvin & Hobbes in electronic format, because our print copies have been loved to pieces. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | RebeccAgent: | it says the value of what this author has written is nothing #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | CarrieRyanchat: | and I do think the textbook market could be awesome- hyperlinks, cheaper, easier to lug around — so much possibility #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | bonnieadamson: | @DDHearn Don’t mind us. Real topic is new media: vooks, Kindle, et al & what they mean for writers/illustrators #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | kparra: | Not just smell but the ease of holding one is comfortable. @EgmontUSA I’m still addicted to that book smell. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | jamieharrington: | @debbieohi I;m the same way… I love that if I’m bored at my kid’s gymnastics class, I can take out a book and read! #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | liamodonnell: | Over 12,000 ppl downloading free Media Meltdown broke the site! http://mediameltdown.net/ Server fixed, so grab yours now. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | jeanie_w: | @gregpincus Didn’t Neil Gaiman have the audio version up on his site for awhile too? #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | debbieohi: | @EgmontGal Relying heavily on Tweetdeck to make sure I don’t miss mentions.  #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | Brent_Watson41: | @emilytastic Yeah, we’ve had laptops for about 6 or 7 years now. Brand new ones this year. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | LoulieArt: | @JennBailey Oh, so the voices are pretty robotic. I like the wonderful actors’ voices on the audios from Cracker Barrel. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | lights_aurora: | Nothing will ever replace smell of books- handled, cradled under blanket w/flashlight, standing proud by brothers on a bookshelf #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | SarahBWinters: | What did I miss, I was fight a 10 yr old to EAT dinner. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | f_rancesca: | RT @bonnieadamson @SuePinto @peg366 @dawnmetcalf @f_rancesca @debbieohi @jemifraserWe need a TNG fan club obviously>Make it so! #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | RebeccAgent: | it’s not the paper we pay for. it’s the story. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | JessieHarrell: | @CarrieRyanchat yeah – think if you didn’t have to drag your Black’s Law Dictionary around (although there’s an App for that now #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | gregpincus: | @chasingray The question is… if the online/ebook is really good, would the test drive turn to an online buy? #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | Shelltex: | I agree. I just want to focus on writing and let the industry decide the format. I’ll adapt. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | jamieharrington: | @mgbuehrlen yeah, since I got kindle for iphone I hardly use the actual kindle. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | BethanyEdits: | @JessieHarrell Thanks! I should check one out in person. They should allow for note-writing in margins & highlighting #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | EgmontGal: | You know, free content (to @kaycassidy’s point) seems to be really helping books sales now. We don’t know what else helps #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | thaliachaltas: | So when Kindle reads to you, whose voice? Dragon? Patrick Stewart? #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | CherylRainfield: | LOL Yes RT @EgmontGal I once read New Moon on flight sitting across frm boss-who thought I was working. Wouldnt teens like that? #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | megsterr: | @sharifwrites good point- what about inscriptions from book givers, or author signings- not really do-able with kindle #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | leewind: | @amithaknight If Kindle hides what books you’re reading, maybe GLBTQ YA books (like romance) will have a bigger readership? #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | jemifraser: | @chasingray I agree – many of students still do not have computers at home! #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | WriterRoss: | @RebeccAgent I read my newspapers online and yes, I love it. I do worry fees to do this are only the next logical step. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | DanyelleLeafty: | I love the idea of text books as e-books–especially if they had multi-media. #kidlitchat |
| 8:33 pm | DDHearn: | @LiaKeyes And what about first editions, and collections? Somehow this will never happen with Kindle and the like. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | chasingray: | @gregpincus It’s working for those guys – but Doctorow fans are already techno geeks in every way. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | f_rancesca: | @rj_anderson Our Calvin and Hobbes books are in pieces all over the house. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | Brent_Watson41: | @jemifraser Nice, where in Canada? My sister-in-law is from Ontario. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | kellybarnhill: | @RebeccAgent But that’s true of libraries too. In the end, writers just want someone to read their book. Maybe we need tip jars. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | vooktv: | @BonnieAdamson great talk going on. I can barely keep up! #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | marybrebner: | I’d love to have class set of Kindles so can downld novels for students to read. They may even be more enthusiastic abt reading! #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | KateMessner: | Speaking of books…I have a sea monster waiting for me tonight – checking out now. Enjoy the rest of the discussion! #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | bonnieadamson: | RT @gregpincus: @chasingray The question is… if the online/ebook is really good, would the test drive turn to an online buy? #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | kparra: | Good to hear! @KateMessner There was some discussion at NEIBA this week about indie booksellers exploring ideas w/ e-books. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | emilytastic: | @Brent_Watson41 V. cool. I think they implemented it right after me and my siblings were out of school. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | JessieHarrell: | @BethanyEdits they do that too! #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | adamselzer: | All of my books are out as ebooks, but paper outsells them by nearly a 1000:1 ratio so far #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | JennBailey: | @thaliachaltas They aren’t bad but it isn’t like Kelsey Grammar reading to you. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | LiaKeyes: | RT @DanyelleLeafty: I love the idea of text books as e-books–especially if they had multi-media. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | jamieharrington: | @EgmontGal I would think free books would help spread the word about a really great story #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | CherylRainfield: | When I read–and buy–an ebook that I LOVE, I then go out & buy paper book copy #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | jeanie_w: | @bonnieadamson TNG fan club? Count me in. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | adamselzer: | One definite upside: no particular reason for an ebook ever to go out of print #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | EgmontGal: | @WriterRoss the question of fees for newspapers is interesting. Variety is going to it, but Times dropped it. we’ll see! #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | JennBailey: | RT @leewind:If Kindle hides what books youre reading, maybe GLBTQ YA books (like romance) will have a bigger readership? #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | irasocol: | @gregpincus better for me and many others. Choices are better. Seen ABC books for web browsers? #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | bonnieadamson: | @vooktv We post the transcripts later–they are a life-saver! #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | tehawesomersace: | @leewind It’s worked for the erotica genre, not that GLBT books should be considered in the same league. #kidlitchat |
| 8:34 pm | chasingray: | @leewind That is one fair idea – lots of folks would read off kindle without fear of prying eyes (I’m thinking lots of romance) #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | DDHearn: | @bonnieadamson I wouldn’t call myself a real Trekker, but I have seen all the Star Trek series. NG was about the best. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | JessieHarrell: | @megsterr the book signing point is a good one. if someone likes ebook, think they’d buy hard copy too @ signing? #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | f_rancesca: | RT @RebeccAgent: its not the paper we pay for. its the story. > YES YES! I am really falling in love with this woman. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | amithaknight: | @chasingray i think it’s a divide now, but not for long. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @jamieharrington You never leave it behind, do you? It’s always there, like a good friend. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | debbieohi: | @jamieharrington I *hate* being stuck without reading material. Now I just pull out my iPhone. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | EgmontGal: | @adamselzer yes, even with massive growth in ebooks last year they are less than 1% of our industry’s sales #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | AnnaZiska: | I love how easy it is 4 my dd to read the same book at the same time. We can share with our family on our touch & Kindle #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | zoe_walton: | @leewind Romances are already one of the biggest ebook sellers so no reason why that shouldn’t happen for YA. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | BethanyEdits: | @tehawesomersace E-ink! Interesting. Do different books come in different fonts? #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | irasocol: | @gregpincus that’s the Accessible Book Collection #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | tabithaolson: | RT @DanyelleLeafty: I love the idea of text books as e-books–especially if they had multi-media. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | jamieharrington: | @brimeetsbooks haha~! Yeah it’s especially tough now that we have to carry on! #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | f_rancesca: | RT @LiaKeyes: RT @DanyelleLeafty: I love the idea of text books as e-books–especially if they had multi-media > like old vids. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | carolgrannick: | So if our books someday go directly to read-aloud devices, our writing will accomodate to that change, no? #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | chasingray: | No one has mentioned the fear of e-books being recalled. Far easier to “erase” e-books then burn paper ones. #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | KD_Miller: | @megsterr We’ll have to replace author autographs/inscriptions with author/reader jpeg files taken with kindlecamera.  #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | leewind: | @tehawesomersace but lots of anecdotes about boys not wanting to be seen with “girly” books – ebooks could change that! #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | thaliachaltas: | @JennBailey Actually, yknow, I’d love a job reading ebooks for recordings! #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | Brent_Watson41: | @emilytastic Coincidence? Hummmm #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | RebeccAgent: | it’s going to be hard to go to a fee when a paper was free #kidlitchat |
| 8:35 pm | jemifraser: | RT @f_rancesca: RT @bonnieadamson @SuePinto @peg366 @dawnmetcalf @f_rancesca@debbieohi @jemifraser TNG fan club-I’m in! #kidlitchat |

| 8:36 pm | kparra: | Read a free first ebook in a series. Bought the rest right up! @EgmontGal free content seems to be really helping books sales.. #kidlitchat |
| 8:36 pm | JennBailey: | May resubscribe to NYTimes because of Kindle. Always a delivery problem before, but now it is electronically sent to us. #kidlitchat |
| 8:36 pm | debbieohi: | @adamselzer Have you written any songs for writers? Or about ebooks, etc.? #kidlitchat |
| 8:36 pm | KayCassidy: | @EgmontGal Free content meaning excerpts or extras like deleted scenes, book-branded content, etc.? Or c) all of the above? #kidlitchat |

| 8:36 pm | AnnaZiska: | Instance… I finished a book at Starbucks today & downloaded my next one in 30 sec. Very simple. #kidlitchat |
| 8:36 pm | RebeccAgent: | that’s why we shouldn’t send the message that books should be free #kidlitchat |
| 8:36 pm | lights_aurora: | I get teary when I receive first editions of childrens classics, knowing I hold a book a child once cherished for it’s story. #kidlitchat |

| 8:36 pm | debbieohi: | RT @chasingray: No one has mentioned the fear of e-books being recalled. Far easier to “erase” e-books then burn paper ones. #kidlitchat |
| 8:36 pm | tehawesomersace: | @BethanyEdits Yes, which is sometimes a bad thing. They even have the opening chap designs on some of the books. #kidlitchat |
| 8:36 pm | bonnieadamson: | RT @rj_anderson: Good tea. Nice chat. (A little joke for my fellow TNG lovers!)<–will need new hashtag! #kidlitchat |

| 8:37 pm | malindalo: | If there was big-screen color Kindle I would get it right away to subscribe to NYT! #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | PattyJMurphy: | Good stories will always find a way to be told…nomatter what the medium:) #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | dawnmetcalf: | It is tough to be pro-recycling/conservation and anti-ebook/vbooks/Kindle, but I am. #kidlitchat |

| 8:37 pm | kellybarnhill: | @leewind That’s a great point! #kidlitchat |
| 8:37 pm | chasingray: | @EgmontGal Um only if you can afford it. #kidlitchat |

| 8:37 pm | Daeanarah: | #kidlitchat problem with romances as ebooks is that if you pub with ebook pub, chances are other pub companies, bookstores won’t carry it |
| 8:37 pm | debbieohi: | @bonnieadamson I had no idea you were a TNG fan. We’ll have to talk, girl.  #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | leewind: | @chasingray but paper books can be checked out of library and thrown away by banners – ebooks are hard to suppress! #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | AudryT: | Current subject for #kidlit? #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | amithaknight: | @chasingray: recalling books could also be a feature for library loaned e-books to prevent pirating #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | thaliachaltas: | There is also the history of a paper book itself. Holding a book I got as a child, there’s personal history in that… #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | SaraLewisHolmes: | But does any of this change how we write? Should it? #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | f_rancesca: | RT @chasingray No one has mentioned the fear of e-books being recalled. Far easier to “erase” e-books then burn paper ones>SCARY #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | Brent_Watson41: | @jemifraser Oh, cool. My sis-in-law is from southern Ontario..Leamington #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | chasingray: | @CIsenhower It’s the best way to find what you don’t realize you were really looking for! #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | jamieharrington: | @EgmontGal I’ve done that with several series, Gallagher Girls, Uglies, Twilight, Maggie Quinn #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | KD_Miller: | @EgmontGal I do love the idea that I can immediately download a recommendation or next-in-series. #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | RebeccAgent: | @egmontgal absolutely. I bought Kathy Griffin’s book at 8 am the day it came out on my kindle before I left for work. #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | KatGirl_Studio: | What I’m wondering is how do you do a signing for a e-book or vook? Will this be the death of signing? #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | EgmontGal: | @CIsenhower yeah, and do you know how hard a publisher fights (and pays) to get placement on that front table? #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | loniedwards: | My daughter suffers from terrible allergies, ebooks/computer/kindle are perfect for her to enjoy books without getting sick! #kidlitchat |

| 8:38 pm | debbieohi: | RT @rj_anderson I never liked Earl Grey Tea until TNG. #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | KayCassidy: | @kparra Great example, Kelly. Freebie novella prequels also seem to be popular. #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | bonnieadamson: | @debbieohi I have the official Enterprise blueprints. Nyah. #kidlitchat |
| 8:38 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @EgmontGal That’s true. I buy more books (series) b/c of the instant purchase ability. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | JennBailey: | e-books can be “smuggled” easier too. Just need to press “send” #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | rielied: | i can’t wait until they have a computer like Penny’s on Inspector Gadget. i want one of those. #kidlitchat: i c.. http://bit.ly/wbwLy |
| 8:39 pm | mymanisryann: | i can’t wait until they have a computer like Penny’s on Inspector Gadget. i want one of those. #kidlitchat: i c.. http://bit.ly/wbwLy |
| 8:39 pm | sharifwrites: | @malindalo They’ll probably have it so that you can hook it up to a larger screen. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | chasingray: | @SaraLewisHolmes Hell, I still write with pen and paper sitting in the car waiting for my son! #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | leewind: | @AudryT #kidlitchat TOPIC – Vooks, Kindles, a school library w no books – do we need to think differently or just go on like always? |
| 8:39 pm | amithaknight: | @Daeanarah: #kidlitchat chances are other pub companies, bookstores wont carry it — what about those Espresso book machines? #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | thaliachaltas: | Truth! RT @leewind: @chasingray paper books can be checked out of library & thrown by banners – ebooks hard to suppress! #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | jamieharrington: | @RebeccAgent yes! my new @scottwesterfeld downloaded last night and it was there when I got up! #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | debbieohi: | @rj_anderson Whoops, sorry, that wasn’t supposed to be an RT, just a reply! #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | brimeetsbooks: | Also, think how much easier back catalogs would be to get . OOP books, repros of ancient texts. Sky’s the limit. #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | jemifraser: | My computer is having a tough time handling the speed – sorry if I miss some comments – doing my best here! #kidlitchat |
| 8:39 pm | BethanyEdits: | @tehawesomersace @JessieHarrell Do editors approve both book & ebook or are ebooks a secondary thought? #kidlitchat |

| 8:40 pm | Daeanarah: | #kidlitchat @amithaknight that’s an iffy too..for don’t they tend to carry those from more traditional publishers, even if release as ebook? |
| 8:40 pm | AudryT: | I can’t throw an ebook across the room unless I want to break expensive equipment. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | jamieharrington: | Besides, if we’re pulping 40% of books, isn’t tha a huge waste of resources? #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | EgmontGal: | @BethanyEdits I think the ebook file is created without us seeing it. we do approve the hard book design, layout etc #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | tabithaolson: | @amithaknight My library already does that. You can download ebooks, and when the license expires the file won’t work. #kidlitchat |
| 8:40 pm | zoe_walton: | Great point @loniedwards. Ebooks are great for allergies or those with disabilities that make reading books difficult. #kidlitchat |

| 8:41 pm | zoe_walton: | Hard as an editor to say bye to control over fonts and leading and all those lovely things. Ebooks give the reader control #kidlitchat |

| 8:42 pm | jamieharrington: | @CarrieRyanchat #kidlitchat yes, I agree. Why isn’t the publishing indistry working to be more enviro-friendly? |
| 8:42 pm | mgbuehrlen: | @LiaKeyes Front page on web, above the “fold” — that’s the money spot. #kidlitchat |

| 8:42 pm | amithaknight: | @tabithaolson true, but they don’t delete the file. so you could still pirate it if you new how to hack it. #kidlitchat |
| 8:42 pm | Daeanarah: | @EgmontUSA #kidlitchat I haven’t seen an espresso machine for ebooks, now for espresso coffees and chocolate that is a different matter lol |
| 8:42 pm | sharifwrites: | @brimeetsbooks I like that. There are so many out-of-print books that I can no longer find. E-books would solve the problem. #kidlitchat |

| 8:43 pm | AnnaZiska: | @jamieharrington Do you mean in paper? They basically keep it on your account online. My dd & I both can use it at the same time #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | debbieohi: | @EgmontUSA For the Espresso Book Machine to print, collate, cover, and bind a book in a few minutes…whoa. #kidlitchat |
| 8:43 pm | MyraMcEntire: | Would publishers rather distribute ARCS on ereaders? #kidlitchat |
