The E-Book Has Arrived
|
For the past eight years, I have been blindly
optimistic about the future of e-books. I
have made countless speeches, attended numerous
meetings flacking the concept as the wave of the
future. Mostly, what I encountered was skepticism,
sometimes disbelief, and at times downright
hostility. Indeed, the prevailing opinion was that
the e-book would never be a credible challenge to
the paper book industry. My optimism is, at long
last, on the verge of vindication. See

Third Annual Writing Contest
Announced
 Suggested by the recent publication of Warren
Adler's latest novel,
Funny Boys, the theme for the Summer
2008 Warren Adler Short Story Contest is
humor. We're looking for humorous
stories in all their varied forms. From satire to
farce, from the whimsical to the uproarious, all
writers looking to get a laugh (in a good way!)
should enter. We are looking for the subtle and
the pungent, the black and dark, the sporty, the
salty, the waggish, or whatever can spark a
knowing smile, a sly chuckle, or a hysterical
belly laugh. In other words, anything goes, just
as long as it falls into this category, however
one stretches its elastic boundaries. See
complete details.

E-Books are Earth Friendly
April 22 was
Earth Day, a time for everyone to take a
moment and reflect on the state of our planet and
what can be done to preserve and improve it. With
so much talk of
hybrid cars
and harnessing the
wind for energy, there is no doubt that the
e-book is both a revolutionary and
environmentally friendly way of exchanging
information. Think about it. By using devices such
as
Amazon Kindle and the
Sony Reader, there is no longer the need to
sacrifice trees in the pursuit of paper. You need
not climb into your car and fuel (pun intended)
the current
gas crisis while traveling to
Barnes &
Noble or
Borders.
Now you can simply download the desired title,
revel in the plots and characters, and enjoy a
read under a tree that the e-book helped to save.
Kindle Availability
In keeping with the e-book theme, all of Warren
Adler's titles are now available on
Kindle.
