Rosalie’s comments from the A Musing Reads group.

The groups are useful for hearing news and joining discussions.

Jenna could you read two pages at one on a tiny screen? I have trouble with my eyes, obviously. It's a good question though. One I hadn't thought of. Hope someone can tell you.

I have now been given a refund for my Dreambook. Thank goodness. Now I am going to wait till a little closer to release date to purchase an ereader. Looking at the posts here, I am thinking of an ipad... since my eyes are not so good. The seven inch screen worked ok, but larger would be better.
Backlit or eink. It would be great if you could do a trial of each. They are such an expensive item to find one that isn't suitable.
Even trying one instore is not yet a feature here. Hopefully THIS year they take off and become the Next Big Thing.

Finished Becoming Nadia. Loved the idea of using antimatter and penning traps in a novel. Nadia is a very interesting concept and raises a few ethical questions. Well penned.

Tagged Rebecca.. nothing to tag in response yet.. but later.. there will be lots. :)

One of your books Ginger? Now... which one... there are so many!! Why not put them on the group bookshelf?
Musers and hopefully lots of Muse friends :) Rebecca. I love the cover of Odessa. It is a gem.
I think it is next on my 'to buy' list. ;) As soon as my ereader is repaired.

I have been reduced to doing that too. Of the four books I tried to load onto my ereader only two opened. Now it's in the shop and I am reading the reliable PDF version.

Cool. Thanks for that J. Q. I am leaning toward a Kindle. My previous experience with an Android hasn't been good.
Being able to write notes is a bonus.

Now that ebooks are a part of our lives, we have to choose how to read them.

While ereaders are becoming cheaper, the smart phone and i-pad seem to almost replace them. What have you found?

I purchased an ereader that is already back in the shop for repair.
When I purchase my next machine to read ebooks, I would really like it to work, rather than become a hugely expensive paperweight.

Here in Australia, ereaders are still a rare thing. I waited for six weeks for mine to arrive on back order.
Here there are only two versions to view 'in store' but the news is that in May more will arrive. Ebay is fine if you know what you need but to get to that stage it is good to handle an ereader and try its functions, BEFORE purchase.

What have other readers found to work, efficiently and not to cost the earth?
Is Kindle better than Color Nook...
Does the Android platform perform?
What have you found?

Becoming NADIA
I am reading Becoming Nadia. A thriller by Cyrus Keith.
So far the story is moving along nicely. The character of Nadia is an interesting concept. The tension is building and the questions are slowly being unravelled.
Must get back to this story. Will let you know how it goes when I get a little further into the story.

Here we are with unlimited stories to tell and characters to share.
Pull up a chair and settle in to discover more about what Museitup authors have to offer.
Not only will we take a glance at what they are writing, but we can see the books they have read and loved.
Feel free to ask questions. None of us bite.
There is cheesecake and choc chip cookies for all.
