8:56 pm marcie8: I’m happy either way. Buy 1Get discount on other @CherylRainfield: I want to buy the ebook at a discount if I have the paper. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm adamselzer: The kindle itself won’t last – amazon just made it to help get ebooks going. They don’t want to be in the hardware biz #kidlitchat
8:56 pm chasingray: @tehawesomersace How many people don’t have computers, ipods, vcrs in this country? And it has been decades on vcrs. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm LoulieArt: + computer + NEO… I write every which way = scattered. Working HARD on organization. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm kcclyburn: Honestly, who’s going to spend 300 bucks for the Kindle and then money on top of that for the books? #kidlitchat
8:56 pm EgmontGal: We like the Kindle so much for work that all of editorial, and our boss, have one at Egmont. Don’t need to bring 6 ms home now! #kidlitchat
8:56 pm jamieharrington: @Georgia_McBride but I think they will be. mp3 players were very expensive when they first came out. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm jeanie_w: @RebeccAgent Congrats! to you and the father. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm rj_anderson: @jamieharrington Agreed! I can’t write longhand at all. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm AudryT: @jamieharrington I’ve been typing ideas 5x faster on a puter since early 90s, but I still brainstorm on paper. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm jamieharrington: @amithaknight yeah that’s what I do too. I own lots of books both ways #kidlitchat
8:56 pm JennBailey: @debbieohi @bonnieadamson I’ll be NYC. Very excited about it. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm cindypon: @rj_anderson whats to prevent an eARC not being mass forwarded tho? #kidlitchat
8:56 pm thaliachaltas: @Daeanarah Or EtchaSketch Kindle for Writers! #kidlitchat
8:56 pm chasingray: @amithaknight Point was – will all books in library (in and out of print) go electronic or only some? #kidlitchat
8:56 pm KayCassidy: I think series sites can be fabulous, but only if they’re more than just 5 pages of neat-o stuff. It can’t be static. #kidlitchat
8:56 pm sharifwrites: @MurphyJacobs Ah, it rings a bell. Didn’t know they did it remotely. Shame on them. #kidlitchat
8:57 pm thaliachaltas: Or EtchaSketch Kindlish Thing for Writers! #kidlitchat
8:57 pm SherriePetersen: @EgmontGal I can see that it would be better for all those manuscripts! #kidlitchat
8:57 pm kcclyburn: RT @mayabidaya: #kidlitchat I don’t like reading books on any screen, it takes away from the substance of the experience in my opinion
8:57 pm Georgia_McBride: @kimberlyrpauley I’d consider reviewing ARCs via e-reader since I would only do 2-3/month (or less). #kidlitchat
8:57 pm SarahBWinters: I always have paper & pen in the car, incase I have a great book idea on the road. #kidlitchat
8:57 pm tabithaolson: @Georgia_McBride Very true. Some competitors to the Kindle will bring prices down. #kidlitchat
8:57 pm amithaknight: @Georgia_McBride not yet you mean! nobody had ipods at first when they were expensive. (except my husband) #kidlitchat
8:57 pm fullofstars: @AudryT Depending on where I am, laptop, alphasmart, paper! Me! *raises hand* #kidlitchat
8:57 pm AudryT: Interesting question: If ebooks took off & print vanished, what would happen to poor readers? #kidlitchat
8:57 pm zoe_walton: @egmontgal I wish! That sounds fab. I’m making do with iPhone for reading mss. #kidlitchat
8:57 pm SaraLewisHolmes: @jamieharrington Because ideas aren’t always linear. What about drawing arrows and circling key words and visual thinking? #kidlitchat
8:57 pm RebeccAgent: @adamselzer not sure I agree #kidlitchat
8:57 pm PattyJMurphy: @Becky_Levine: Bye, Becky. Tweet with you, soon! #kidlitchat
8:57 pm thaliachaltas: Ooo, there are two of me! (Lookout, world!) #kidlitchat
8:57 pm SherriePetersen: @jamieharrington Because sometimes it’s nice to feel the scratch of graphite on paper, chew on the pencil and think :) #kidlitchat
8:57 pm kcclyburn: @jamieharrington There has to be something like the iPod that comes around and shakes things up though. #kidlitchat
8:57 pm HeleneBoudreau: Writing longhand makes my hand hurt. I think my laptop has rendered my writing muscles obsolete, like an appendix #kidlitchat
8:57 pm EgmontGal: @cindypon you have to use a code to get access to e-arc and once activated it doesn’t work again #kidlitchat
8:57 pm f_rancesca: Quite likely to buy the audio book of books I have read and adore. They complement each other, deepen experience of the story. #kidlitchat
8:58 pm tehawesomersace: Hmmm…even in the inner city a DVD player is considered standard. Think libraries will pick up slack like computers. #kidlitchat
8:58 pm jamieharrington: @AudryT #kidlitchat see I have to brainstorm in the computer… or I get lost!
8:58 pm jamieharrington: @SaraLewisHolmes #kidlitchat I don’t know, there isn’t anything I can’t do in a word processor with a table…
8:58 pm LiaKeyes: Will libraries loan Kindles? #kidlitchat
8:58 pm thaliachaltas: It won’t stay just Kindle, y’all. There will probably be many many competitors in the end, which will be good overall. #kidlitchat
8:58 pm Shelltex: @EgmontGal I can see how it would be very beneficial for editors to have eREaders. #kidlitchat
8:58 pm hatbooks: RT @AudryT: Interesting question: If ebooks took off & print vanished, what would happen to poor readers? #kidlitchat
8:59 pm jamieharrington: @kcclyburn I think apple’s gonna handle that. #kidlitchat
8:59 pm rj_anderson: @HeleneBoudreau Exactly my feelings. My carpal tunnel is bad enough without writer’s cramp on top of it! #kidlitchat
8:59 pm LoulieArt: @f_rancesca Like seeing the movie after reading the book #kidlitchat
8:59 pm AnnaZiska: You can copy & save. Quote etc. RT @SaraLewisHolmes: What about drawing arrows and circling key words and visual thinking? #kidlitchat
8:59 pm adamselzer: @RebeccAgent Not to say ereaders are transient – but sooner or later some model will blow kindle out of the water #kidlitchat
8:59 pm BrandiDougherty: jumping in! anyone see this article? kindle should market to non-readers (after all original ipod was $400). http://ow.ly/sJID #kidlitchat
8:59 pm PattyJMurphy: Great news! You should be VERY proud! RT @RebeccAgent: btw The Storm in the Barn received its 4th starred review today… #kidlitchat
8:59 pm CarrieRyanchat: @jamieharrington I’m the exact same way – I have to type it out or I get lost/can’t keep up with my head #kidlitchat
8:59 pm Daeanarah: #kidlitchat what happened to tape recorders, digital recorders to record ideas, easier than writing while driving. lol
8:59 pm kcclyburn: I just can’t imagine a world without actual physical BOOKS. #kidlitchat
8:59 pm EgmontGal: @thebookbarr yeah, where is the tablet already! And bill gates wanted a pen that could write on computer way back when #kidlitchat
8:59 pm jamieharrington: @hatbooks I think it would be the same as music… they’d get it #kidlitchat
8:59 pm WriterRoss: @HeleneBoudreau Ah so agreed. I used to love my handwriting. This is very depressing. #kidlitchat
8:59 pm SarahBWinters: RT @HeleneBoudreau: WritingLonghandMakes my hand hurt.I think myLaptop has renderedMy writing muscles obsolete,like an appendix #kidlitchat
9:00 pm debbieohi: re: children & e-books. http://bit.ly/YBY4X points out that so far, e-books don’t offer anything over print books. #kidlitchat
9:00 pm MyraMcEntire: @cindypon True on the mass forward … (oops!) #kidlitchat
9:00 pm KayCassidy: @HeleneBoudreau I have radial tunnel syndrome in my writing hand – makes it hard. Signed 300 bookmarks & had to ice for a week! #kidlitchat
9:00 pm jamieharrington: @CarrieRyanchat #kidlitchat yeah, and it helps me to see it on the SCREEN, more organized than in my head or how I would write it
9:00 pm SherriePetersen: @LiaKeyes Maybe with a big deposit? #kidlitchat
9:00 pm JoanneFrench: #kidlitchat e-readers: books are warm and cuddly and e-readers are cold and hard. How can I build a relationship with s’thing cold and hard?
9:00 pm EgmontGal: @Shelltex ereaders VERY useful for those of us who work in pub, random house reps all use them but no excuse to not read now! #kidlitchat
9:00 pm SaraLewisHolmes: @jamieharrington Maybe if I had a tablet…but I like my spiral notebooks for non-linear thinking. Laptop great for drafting. #kidlitchat
9:00 pm CherylRainfield: @thaliachaltas Try a tablet. Like HP. You can scribble, write on the screen, make notes…. (But i still prefer pen/paper) #kidlitchat
9:00 pm kcclyburn: I think that parents will be less inclined to buy e-book readers for their kids than anything else, which is sad. #kidlitchat
9:00 pm HeleneBoudreau: @rj_anderson and scratchy pens on paper/like nails on a chalk board. Ew. #kidlitchat
9:00 pm jamieharrington: @kcclyburn but that’s how people felt about the stone tablets right before they switched to the scroll… #kidlitchat
9:00 pm adamselzer: Apple ereader is likely to be out out early next year #kidlitchat
9:00 pm MandyHubbard: I could never write a book longhand. I might actually quit writing if I had to, i hate it that much. #kidlitchat
9:00 pm jamieharrington: @debbieohi they offer less wasted paper. #kidlitchat
9:00 pm AudryT: I definitely have to do the core manuscript writing on the computer. Brain very, very fast. Fingers 80/wpm #kidlitchat
9:01 pm Shelltex: My handwriting is so much worse now than it was just 10 years ago. I hardly ever write. I barely even write checks anymore. #kidlitchat
9:01 pm gregpincus: @EgmontGal I just want a pen that makes my handwriting legible… on paper or computer! #kidlitchat
9:01 pm CynthiaCWillis: A good night to all. I’m off to read my latest BOOK before passing out. *smiles sheepishly* #kidlitchat
9:01 pm thaliachaltas: @CherylRainfield I looked at those! But I love fountain pens… alas. :) #kidlitchat
9:01 pm Daeanarah: #kidlitchat are they still teaching cursive writing in schools? I heard not due to tweeting, text messaging.
9:01 pm OfficiallyMRS: Im anti-kindle. I think that too many things can go wrong when books are electronic (coming from the girl obsessed with twitter) #kidlitchat
9:01 pm Georgia_McBride: @amithaknight, @tabithaolson, @jamieharrington, @tehawesomersace 1s w/ best features will be @ hi price point like music plyrs #kidlitchat
9:01 pm whimsicalwalney: RT @kcclyburn: I just can’t imagine a world without actual physical BOOKS. #kidlitchat

9:01 pm hatbooks: RT @EgmontGal: @Shelltex ereaders VERY useful for those of us who work in pub, random house reps all use them… #kidlitchat
9:02 pm jamieharrington: @Georgia_McBride oh for sure ebooks woun’t be replacing hard copy books any time SOON, but we should see it coming. #kidlitchat
9:02 pm DDHearn: Some parents won’t even let their kids handle pretty PBs…much less an expensive Kindle! #kidlitchat
9:02 pm debbieohi: @JoanneFrench I curl up under the covers with my iPhone and read my e-books without fear of bending the covers. #kidlitchat
9:02 pm LoulieArt: @jamieharrington I love your green ‘tude! #kidlitchat
9:02 pm mgbuehrlen: @CarrieRyanchat So true. Wish I could type as fast as my brain works. Entire manuscripts could be written in a flash! #kidlitchat
9:02 pm amithaknight: @JoanneFrench that’s what the cover is for. mine smells like leather. #kidlitchat
9:02 pm thaliachaltas: @AudryT I’m half and half – love long hand but I am very fast on the keyboard so if my thoughts fly, I type! #kidlitchat
9:02 pm crissachappell: @MandyHubbard oh man…i’m addicted to cutting and pasting scenes around my ms… #kidlitchat
9:02 pm SaraLewisHolmes: All this talking about reading is making me want to go READ. :) #kidlitchat
9:02 pm CherylRainfield: @thaliachaltas I love pens, period. There’s something about the connectedness of pen to paper-for me it’s better writing strongr #kidlitchat
9:02 pm sharifwrites: @HeleneBoudreau My fingers feel like they’re going to crack after writing a few pages longhand. #kidlitchat
9:02 pm debbieohi: @adamselzer I am way too obsessed with the Apple reader. #kidlitchat
9:02 pm jamieharrington: @debbieohi haha and I put mine in a ziploc and read em in the tub! #kidlitchat
9:02 pm MyraMcEntire: @SaraLewisHolmes LOVE spiral notebooks. Sectioned ones. Invaluable for brainstorms. And also? Mechanical pencils. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm Georgia_McBride: @jamieharrington CDs still sell millions annually. Replace books? I don’t know. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm mayabidaya: just can’t imagine a parent sitting down on a child’s bed at the end of the day, and reading to them from a screen. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm f_rancesca: We’ve all been trained by modernism — but progress is not inherently better. And questioning progress is useful. Test the new! #kidlitchat
9:03 pm tehawesomersace: QFT! RT @jamieharrington oh for sure ebooks wount be replacing hard copy books any time SOON, but we should see it coming. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm jamieharrington: @LoulieArt ya know, I am not always as green as I should be, but for something like this, it just makes GOOD sense. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm pinkcottonpaper: @Marcie8 Old fashioned way often. I carry a notebook with me always. Write down bits of stories and sketch in the same book. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm bonnieadamson: @DDHearn Well that’s just wrong–books meant to be handled, loved to death. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm DDHearn: There seem to be more typos in books these days. Harder to catch them on a screen than on printed paper? #kidlitchat
9:03 pm SherriePetersen: @Daeanarah My kids still learned cursive. And how to type on their laptops. Every kid in the school has one (3-6) :) #kidlitchat
9:03 pm CarrieRyanchat: also, there’s something cool about taking the jacket off a new book and looking at the case… it’s a great feeling! #kidlitchat
9:03 pm kcclyburn: I usually love tech, but anytime someone other thanb me owns the stuff I pay for, I get very very scared. #kidlitchat
9:03 pm amithaknight: RT @jamieharrington: oh for sure ebooks wont be replacing hard copy books any time SOON, but we should see it coming.– i agree #kidlitchat

9:04 pm debbieohi: @jamieharrington LOL! Do you really???? (ziploc bags / ebooks / tub) #kidlitchat
9:04 pm jamieharrington: @Georgia_McBride sure cd’s do… but how’s that cassette tape doing? #kidlitchat
9:04 pm hatbooks: will e-readers cut author income? will authors need to do more school visits etc. like musicians have to perform live more now? #kidlitchat
9:04 pm earth_mommy: @kcclyburn Apple is supposed to come out with an iPad, and Microsoft has one developed, too #kidlitchat
9:04 pm thaliachaltas: Speaking of handwritten to keyboard, I am off to transcribe a chapter. Gnite you lovelies! #kidlitchat
9:04 pm gregpincus: So…is our assessment that we writers/illustrators just keep going on? Certainly a good story in print is good on an ereader… #kidlitchat
9:04 pm MyraMcEntire: @mgbuehrlen I wish I could remember what half of my brain thinks up! #kidlitchat (I also usually wonder what it was I came upstairs for…)
9:04 pm Georgia_McBride: RT @mayabidaya: just can’t imagine a parent sitting down on a child’s bed at end of day, and reading to them from a screen. #kidlitchat
9:04 pm mgbuehrlen: RT @f_rancesca: Weve all been trained by modernism — but progress is not inherently better. << AGREED! #kidlitchat
9:04 pm EgmontGal: @debbieohi This may be TMI, but I read my kindle in the bathtub several times a week. #kidlitchat
9:04 pm thebookbarr: @EgmontGal I want an Apple Tablet that also writes my manuscript as I think it. Punctuation included. #kidlitchat
9:04 pm mayabidaya: #kidlitchat i sometimes write too quickly on a keyboard. i think that writing longhand can make you delve deeper into your head and heart
9:04 pm AudryT: One thing I do much better on paper: write sarcastic comics about the creative process. #kidlitchat
9:04 pm DDHearn: RT @bonnieadamson: @DDHearn Well thats just wrong–books meant to be handled, loved to death. I agree! #kidlitchat
9:04 pm bonnieadamson: @pinkcottonpaper Me, too–first thoughts always pencil on paper because of sketching in margins. #kidlitchat
9:04 pm sharifwrites: I’m out. Nice chatting with you all. #kidlitchat

9:04 pm EgmontUSA: For the record, it’s not so bad curling up w/ an e-Reader. And no papercut. I’m content both ways. #kidlitchat
9:04 pm jemifraser: Had to give up on #kidlitchat – my computer just can’t keep up! It keeps freezing up on me :(
9:04 pm SaraLewisHolmes: @MyraMcEntire And pockets in the notebook for tucking in stray articles, random drawings, and lists and such. :) #kidlitchat
9:04 pm CherylRainfield: @DDHearn Definitely harder to catch typos/mistakes on screen than paper. Learned that in editing course #kidlitchat
9:04 pm HeleneBoudreau: Same dif. #kidlitchat
9:05 pm mgbuehrlen: @debbieohi Hm? I take my iPhone into the tub all the time! #kidlitchat
9:05 pm jamieharrington: @debbieohi yes. All the time. I’ve even dropped it in the tub, but the baggie protects it. #kidlitchat
9:05 pm bonnieadamson: @gregpincus With the caveat of technical considerations for illustrators . . . #kidlitchat
9:05 pm KayCassidy: Hmm… if your first author copy is a digital file, how do you pet it and snuggle it and call it George? #kidlitchat

9:05 pm crissachappell: my students sit in class, watching movies on their ipods #kidlitchat
9:05 pm debbieohi: @CherylRainfield I don’t have to lug around my knapsack all the time now. I always like having 2-3 bks with me at anytime. :-) #kidlitchat
9:05 pm amithaknight: @EgmontGal re: e-reader in the tub hahah! i’m too clumsy for that. #kidlitchat
9:05 pm gregpincus: @hatbooks Will ereaders make books more popular and give authors more name recognition thus making ancillaries easier? #kidlitchat
9:05 pm RebeccAgent: @gregpincus nods #kidlitchat
9:05 pm f_rancesca: RT @gregpincus: So…is our assessment that we writers/illustrators just keep going on? > I agree. Writers write! Bees be! #kidlitchat

9:05 pm SherriePetersen: @jamieharrington Not a bad idea! #kidlitchat
9:05 pm mgbuehrlen: @MyraMcEntire Me too! Sometimes my best ideas arise right as I’m falling asleep. Too tired to put pen to paper and lose them. #kidlitchat

9:06 pm LoulieArt: @jamieharrington ziploc in tub. would that work for cell phone? yikes. #kidlitchat

9:06 pm rj_anderson: @f_rancesca Bees be, and then @debbieohi eats them? #kidlitchat
9:06 pm gregpincus: @BonnieAdamson And that’s no small caveat – tools change and using them is key. I think writers will adapt, too #kidlitchat
9:06 pm DDHearn: @CherylRainfield I wonder if a lot of books are ONLY read and edited on screen these days, making for more mistakes in the book. #kidlitchat
9:06 pm CherylRainfield: @PattyJMurphy Yes! One of my fav stores are office supply stores–paper, pens, pencils, erasers, notepads (sighing happily) #kidlitchat
9:06 pm earth_mommy: @Daeanarah There is actually an iTouch/Phone app for that lol #kidlitchat
9:06 pm mgbuehrlen: @debbieohi Although I have a rubberized case for it, so it’s easier to grip. W/o it I would drop it, no doubt. #kidlitchat
9:06 pm jamieharrington: @LoulieArt I do it all the time with the iphone :) #kidlitchat
9:06 pm CarrieRyanchat: @mgbuehrlen I need a tape recorder next to my bed for that exact reason! #kidlitchat

9:06 pm EgmontGal: @thebookbarr I want an Apple Tablet that screens manuscripts and does readers reports and only gives me the best #kidlitchat
9:07 pm MyraMcEntire: @mgbuehrlen Right before bed and in the shower. I bought those tub crayons for kids to capture those ideas. True story. #kidlitchat
9:07 pm debbieohi: RT @EgmontGal: When an older book is read aloud, I wouldn’t have cared if dad was reading book or kindle. It was his voice. #kidlitchat

9:07 pm SaraLewisHolmes: Bye, all. Off to read (a hardback book.) #kidlitchat

9:07 pm EgmontUSA: @KayCassiy I really hope that you don’t call CS GeorgeHow abut Georgiana instead. #kidlitchat
9:07 pm Georgia_McBride: @jamieharrington Indeed and the record but point is, it takes years and years. We are just in the baby stage. #kidlitchat
9:07 pm f_rancesca: @gregpincus @BonnieAdamson Thanks, chaps. Lots of food for thought & now I’m going to put money where mouth is & write! G’night #kidlitchat
9:07 pm bonnieadamson: @gregpincus It will be like TV screen formatting vs. wide-screen. There will be cropping. #kidlitchat
9:07 pm CherylRainfield: @HeleneBoudreau That’s so interesting you read to them from laptop! I hadn’t thought of doing it that way. #kidlitchat
9:08 pm zoe_walton: @EgmontGal An iNtern iTablet? #kidlitchat

9:08 pm debbieohi: @f_rancesca Gnite! #kidlitchat
9:08 pm CherylRainfield: @DDHearn Hm. Could be. I hope not. #kidlitchat
9:08 pm Daeanarah: #kidlitchat ok time to go…being in dialup I can’t keep up sigh…Good night…sleep well and dream of all the books yet to be read :)
9:08 pm rj_anderson: People will always need storytellers. Styles of publication may change, but a good story is a good story, in pixels or print. #kidlitchat
9:08 pm mayabidaya: @gregpincus #kidlitchat i feel the physical books themselves play a role in the books i’ve written, and their quality would suffer as ebooks
9:08 pm KayCassidy: @PattyJMurphy @EgmontUSA LOL. That quote is from an old Looney Tunes cartoon. :-) #kidlitchat
