Krishna: Hi, Cool blog, this!
rob: Good point, Amelia. The hours people spend reading are the greatest cost involved. Given that we sometimes get fooled and buy books we don't enjoy, it's nice to have a low cover price, too--if not for the successes, at least for the rejects.Rob
amelia: You may buy books because they are cheep (so you can fill a bookcase) or because you may or may not want it. But I hope people do not read books because they are cheap. time is to valuable

Rob: Thanks, Amelia. Still, lots of people seem to think that stupid people doing stupid (embarassing) things is the ultimate in humor.Rob
amelia: I am with you. I do not find people doing stupid things funny. I find that people think I am funniest when I say the truth. Odd.

Rob: Hi Amelia,Sorry to hear about Da Vinci. It's possible your reading habits are a bit more sophisticated than the average. Since I get paid for sitting in basements, it's not all bad.rob
amelia: P.S. I got DaVinci code on tape. Listened to it but got annoyed. felt manipulated so stoped also felt like I knew the end already. Finally I think goddess worshipers can be just as bad as any other religion.

rob: Thanks, Kristina. I appreciate the wishes--and hope that 2007 will be a great year for all of us. Steve, thanks as well. Momi--back at you. And Gentlesnob, I really do understand the appeal of paper. I understand the appeal of vellum, too, but I don't think we're going to see a comeback in that technology. Paper has had its day and its day isn't quite over, but it's on the way out. Hybrid technologies like print on demand machines are cool--but are like adding air conditioning to mulecarts.--Ro
Kristina O'D: Happy New Year, Rob, Karen, and all the BookForABuckers! May peace and goodwill rule forever!
Kristina: Happy anniversary, Rob and Karen! I wish you many many more, happy, lucky, healthy, surrounded by your loved ones.

Eppie contest

For any authors on this blog, I wanted to let you know that the Eppies are now open. This is the annual contest for best eBook in a variety of formats. Check it out at www.epicauthors.html. We haven't had any BooksForABuck.com winners yet but I hope this will change this year. BFAB authors, please contact me if you decide to enter.

I've become fascinated with hurricanes. I see that Felix exploded into a hurricane this evening. Yesterday there was just 'some chance for development.' It didn't take long at all for it to explode from tropical depression to hurricane. Unfortunately it looks like it's heading directly for the Yukatan peninsula--which is where Dean also hit.

Since it's a weekend, I didn't do any writing. I spent some time putting together a second print version of FINDING FUNBOY (www.booksforabuck.com/mystery/mys_07/finding_funboy.html) and correcting a typo on the back cover copy (how embarassing is that?).  I also made some progress in my read-through of NanoCorporate and heard back from the second of four authors in the Carpatian Shadows anthology. I also finished reading the thoughful mystery THE DARK STREETS by John Shannon. Here's my review: www.booksforabuck.com/mystery/mys_07/dark_streets.html. I've been very impressed by all of Shannon's books I've read so far (six in all) and am happy to recommend him. Now I'm reading CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE SEXY KIND by Karen Kelley--quite a change in pace.

I'm going to make I, PHILIBERT Q. WINSLOW by Michael Paulson the www.BooksForABuck.com book of the day. The police are quick to view Philibert as a suspect when his beautiful assistant ends up dead. Everyone knew Philibert wanted her in the worst way--and that she slept with just about everyone else. Paulson plays with the reader to the point where we're not sure if Philibert might not have pulled it off. Only $3.99. Learn more, read the excerpt, or buy the entire eNovel here: www.booksforabuck.com/mystery/mys_06/i-philibert.html. Here's the cover (cover design by Karen Leabo):
