First, bestselling author Michael Connelly has now sold more than 1,000,000 Amazon's Kindle books. That is quite impressive. Click here to read more. He is just the 7th author to join this elite club.
Just yesterday I received a quick-hit email from one of our editors. Let's call him Robert. Here is what he wrote:

Thought you might be interested to know the following, given the tenor of some of the recent posts on your blog: I just finished reading Hans Gobeler's Steel Boat, Iron Hearts, about U-505; am now reading Hunt and Kill, edited by some guy named Savas; and next intend to read Gary Moore's Playing with the Enemy. All on Kindle.
I never intended to get one. But when I retired from the CG, that's the gift my group of neighbors decided to give me, along with some Amazon credit. I didn't use it for the first couple of months, but then I found that for commuting back and forth to work on the train, it was more convenient than a print book. Often I have both a Kindle and print book (because I still have a lot of those...) going at the same time, and I read one or the other depending on the circumstances. Anyway, I thought you'd like to know, as an individual case study . . .

Keep those bulletins coming, tps!
They are here to stay indeed. And I'm sure even their format will be changing over the coming years. Only Heaven knows how people will be "reading" 50, 100 or more years into the future.
I use both as well and will continue to do so. I can't live without the "real thing," but reading on my iPad is just fine especially since I do a lot of flying.

Since I've gotten a Kindle to replace my Nook (I got sick of poor customer service), I've repurchased several of the S-B titles because they are worth having easy access to and because you've set a reasonable price point.
