EBOOKS are books too!!!shadha kudrath ali




Electronic books - that is books you read on the computer- have the same information and entail the same reading experience as books in the traditional form - that is books you actually hold in your hands. An ebook looks just like a Microsoft document but it is transformed into an ebook format such as PDF where the reader cannot make any changes to the document. There are other points of comparisons of ebooks and just regular books.

Anybody can buy an ebook the traditional way, just walk into a bookstore but with ebooks you have to have a computer and internet connection and also a credit card which presupposes your finances are in good order for the bank to allow you a credit card while with a traditional book no matter your financial situation even if you do not have a credit card you can purchase one as long as you have some money.

Suppose you were looking for a book on a particular subject and your local physical bookstore does not carry books on such subjects you can always find books on such subjects on the net (and even subjects you have never dreamed of) and you can purchase a book from someone halfway around the world and have it in minutes!

An ebook is not a book you can physically hold in your hands and it can be irritating to sit in front of your computer to read an entire book while you can curl up with a traditional book anywhere but with ebook readers this make ebooks portable just as the traditional books.

You flick through pages of a traditional book but you scroll down the pages of an ebook.

You can make copies of a traditional book with a photocopier while with ebooks with just a click of a button in mere seconds you can make an entire copy of a book.

You cannot hold ebooks in your hands but the pages will never yellow no matter how long you have it nor get doggie ears no matter how much you read it. The pages will always be crisp and new as the day you bought it (unless your computer is invaded by a worm which destroys all documents on your computer).

LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Batman Strength in Numbers

LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Batman Strength in Numbers

LeapFrog LFC21152 NEW! Leapster The Batman: Strength in Numbers

Appropriate For Ages 5 to 7 Years

Help Batman save Gotham City! Fend off the villians tormenting the city and retrieve stolen collectibles as you build mathematics skills for kindergarten through first grade.

What it Teaches

• Counting
• Odd and even numbers
• Addition
• Subtraction

Customer Review: Engaging fun for my 3+ year old!!

This Batman game has me sold on the virtues of the Leapster. Shapes and slicing them in half, greater vs. less than, numbers with simple addition/subtraction, fine motor coordination, simple sheer fun! My son just likes me to watch him play the game on the couch. It's challenging for him with different levels of difficulty as he tries to battle and reach the arch-villain. It has helped him construct "good guy" and "bad guy" distinction. My son received the game with a Leapster L-Max for X-mas and will turn 4 on Apr 10, he's even beginning to read already, so whatever we're doing as concerned parents it's working! Definately a winner for this family. My daughter is 2.5 years old and we're going to get her a pink L-Max for her birthday with a Dora and Barbie/Princess game; but we're looking at perhaps the Thomas the Tank Engine or Cars game next for my son?? The reviews for them look good as well...

Customer Review: Fun, engaging, and educational.

My boys just turned 5 and this Batman game is by far their favorite. They love the challenge of finding their way through the rooms, "stunning" the enemies, and finding the sparkling prizes.



It has been really helping with their fine motor skills, which is the real reason I wanted the Leapsters in the first place.



Although they need help with some of the math (greater than and less than mostly, a concept which they are still working on), they have surprised me that they can match all the shapes, do the simple addition, and figure out how to "cut" shapes geometrically in half.



My 7 year old daughter also enjoys playing this Batman game on her brothers' Leapsters. It's definitely not only for boys.

Rothco Vintage Paratrooper Messenger Bag - Khaki

Rothco Vintage Paratrooper Messenger Bag - Khaki
Rothco Khaki Vintage Paratrooper Bag / Messenger Bag is a great bag for work, travel and school. Has a large main compartment and adjustable strap for comfort. Specifications: 15" X 11" X 4", hang tags

Customer Review: Great product

This is a great bag for school. I use it everyday to carry books and other things in it. Also, the three compartments on the inside makes it very easy to organize everything.

The only thing I have against the bag is that the strap is a bit too thin and it doesn't provide a lot of support if you are carrying a very heavy load.

However, other than that this is a very useful bag. Very much worth the price.

Customer Review: Quality Purchase......

This puurchase was a very good one, if I needed another one I would purchase another one, also the service was great............THANKS....

Scooby-Doo Figure 5-Pack
This complete 5-pack of figures includes the entire Mystery Inc. gang with Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Velma and Daphne. Each posable figure is 5" tall and has oversized features for little hands.

Customer Review: Great for 4 year old

My son got these for Christmas (along with the Mystery Machine). He loves them and I find in the kitchen on the tile constantly playing with them. He piles them in the van and solves mysterys alone with his Scooby videos. I can already see an increase in his role playing skills!

Customer Review: BUYERS BEWARE

We bought these for our 3 year old son for Christmas. It has been a month since then and our son loves them, but there is a BIG problem. The paint on them all had been steadily falling off. Freddy now has only patches of paint on his arms, and Daphne has only a spot of paint left on her head. With the recent issues involving Chinese made toys, I decided to throw them all out this morning. The toys are great as long as you don't mind you children ingesting the paint from them. If you do buy them, check them constantly for signs of deterioration. But, I would highly discourage this purchase.

"Looking For Good Copywriter Books?"

If you are looking for copywriter books, youll want to devote some time to reading. In fact, if you plan to look online for your copy writer resources, you might as well just devote your life to reading! There are so many books that are available for you to purchase. Sure, there are standard things that each book will probably include. And, like the vast amount of diets out there, copywriter books are just as versatile and, unfortunately, misleading.

If you are looking for copywriter books, youll want to devote some time to reading. In fact, if you plan to look online for your copy writer resources, you might as well just devote your life to reading! There are so many books that are available for you to purchase. Sure, there are standard things that each book will probably include. And, like the vast amount of diets out there, copywriter books are just as versatile and, unfortunately, misleading.

Now, before you get frustrated with that, lets clarify that there are many thousands of different copywriter books available. Some do have very good points, business tips, and offer a great amount of help. But, lets get realistic when it comes to the outrageous claims of making millions as a freelance copy writer just from reading a book. Like those fad diets, there are those that like to fluff the quality of their material incredibly. The key is to find the good stuff, pull it out, and use it wisely.

Lets think about that analogy about diets claiming fantastic results again. We all know that tried and true diet of eating healthy, well balanced meals and getting in a good amount of exercise is going to result in weight loss, right? The same goes for these books claiming fantastic results. If you want a freelance career as a copy writer that makes you millions, youll need to work for it, from the beginning.

There is no easy way to make a career as a proof reader or copy writer unless you build strong, good relationships with your clients from the beginning. Sure, you can find copywriter books that can give you great tips on how to get out there, how to present yourself, and how to make your business work, but in the end, if your work is not of good quality, you can forget the whole thing. Do not be discouraged away from purchasing these books though. They can provide you with an outstanding amount of useful information. Just dont set your goals so high that you cant see the first step of the ladder!

Star Wars Trilogy (Special Edition)

Star Wars Trilogy (Special Edition)
What's cool about this video is also what makes it seem amateurish at first: it is neither endorsed nor authorized by 20th Century Fox or Lucasfilm. The result: a montage of interviews with everybody of importance to the Star Wars world--from George Lucas and Liam Neeson to Samuel L. Jackson and Harrison Ford, with intelligently written voice-over narration, and a unique exploration of Star Wars and Star Trek together. This is at once an homage to the Star Wars trilogies and a documentary of its sci-fi precursors, from silent film to Star Trek.

Since this collection of interviews isn't authorized by Lucasfilm, you won't find footage of the Star Wars movies here, although you will find terrific snippets from sci-fi milestones such as Fritz Lang's Metropolis. A youthful Carrie Fischer talk about the interplanetary appeal of the original Star Wars, while a 20-years-older Fischer talks about the films' fairytale-like grasp across generations. Young and older Harrison Fords and Mark Hamills give interesting perspectives as well; the video also sports one of the longer interviews recorded with the man inside C-3PO.

Besides the actual cast and crew of the Star Wars movies including The Phantom Menace, there are interviews here with stars as fans, famous people who love the movies as much as anyone: Sharon Stone, Gary Busey, Hugh Hefner, Magic Johnson, Christina Ricci, and William Shatner. A fun and provocative look through uncensored interviews across the spectrum at all that is Star Wars, worthy of any fan's archive, a must for any serious collection. --Erik Macki

Customer Review: Star Wars Trilogy

This product was never received. The DVD's were to be a Christmas gift and a week before Christmas I had to go to the mall and pay a steep price in order to have the gift for the holiday. While the payment was refunded, the non-delivery was a big disappointment. However my son has enjoyed the videos and he now watches then with his own son.

Phantom Tollbooth

Phantom Tollbooth
Customer Review: Better As Just A Passing Curiosity

For fans of Chuck Jones, this is a great way to see some of his work outside of the Looney Tunes.



For fans of the book, this is just a passing curiosity.



Too many liberties were taken with the property. It only resembles the book in the most superficial of ways. The magic and charm of the book is lost in this animated version. I was very disappointed in it. Especially after wanting to see it for years. The songs in the film don't work as a way to advance the plot. They're just in there to be in there. They have no function at all.



As stated, most of the charm and magic of the book is gone. You get the basic plot. Milo gets the tollbooth. Takes his journey to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Along the way are Tock and the Humbug. In a nut shell, you go from The Land of Expectations, to the Doldrums, to Dictionopolis, to Digitopolis to the Castle in the Air. 90% of the little side excursions are gone. No Valley of Sound. No Island of Conclusions. No cities of Reality or Illusions. No Alex. No 5/8 child. Heck, even the demons in the Mountains of Ignorance are not even that interesting. Rhyme and Reason are not much more than blobs of color. Almost like the animators just couldn't be bothered to even try and make them look like people. Tock is drawn all wrong. Short Shrift if wrong. I could go on and on.



Since the book isn't all that long, I didn't see the need to cut so much of the more interesting parts out. If they had left out the songs, there would have been more than enough time to be more faithful to the book.



I'll stick to reading the book. It's 100% better. Maybe in a few years some one will get the idea to make a more faithful adaptation. I hope so because if done correctly a movie of The Phantom Tollbooth could be really spectacular. This version wasn't.



Customer Review: They need to make this movie on DVD

I was so happy to find this movie but the price was outrageous. I got it for my sisters birthday because her and this movie go way back. I guess it was worth the amount of money just because in my family it is a classic. They really need to make this movie on a DVD though because they last longer. This movie is so funny and just amazing. If you haven't seen it then I would suggest you rent it first because you may not be into this kind of movie. It is kind of trippy in some parts but the whole movie is just great. There is some singing and it is mostly a cartoon. It starts off as real life but then turns into a cartoon. This movie is a classic.

Libraries Check Out E-books


Almost everything now is being made easy for us from the way we communicate, we now have mobile phones and the internet where we send our emails, to the way we do business transactions we are definitely living in a modernized world. Now, there is also an upsurge of library websites which are becoming information portals. We can already track our books and personal favorites or receive lists of suggested reading materials from the web. This process is being made possible by Electronic Books or E-books.

Will E-books change our reading experience? Are we going to carry a mobile device with us instead of tons of textbooks soon? No! They are not intended to replace the print collection in our libraries. However, since the library has limited funds, they are not always able to maintain their collection of print materials. At least, with E-books, the services found inside a library are now being offered online and lending can be 24/7. You can now borrow from anywhere in the world and have instant portable access to the library collection.

E-books have features that help us understand and study certain materials. With it, we can test ourselves with interactive quizzes, watch a film segment, highlight important text, and make notes and bookmark pages for review. They have built-in dictionaries that will make it easy for us to check definitions of words. More so, they also enable us to search for specific words or phrases much faster than they could scan text while flipping through the pages of a paper book.

Consumers Advantages

E-books are ideal for those who want information in the quickest possible time. It can provide us with video clips, sounds, color images, games, children's activities, and many other interactive multimedia elements. They also have search engine and electronic navigation technology.

Authors Advantages

Now, authors have an easier means to publish what they want and how they want it to be and distribute their work at relatively low cost. The E-book and the internet technologies will allow anyone who has written a book to publish and market an E-book worldwide.

Business Advantages

Creating and publishing E-books is by far one of the most profitable business ventures anyone can have. Once you have the required knowledge and tools, creating an unlimited number of E-books will cost you absolutely nothing. In fact, it will only bring bountiful profits for you. You can deliver your E-books on demand via automatic download or by email immediately after a customer pays for them. They are also great marketing products. They are great lead generators. They are great back-end and up-sell products. Once you start your own E-book business and your E-books start to spread in the web, you won't be able to stop the profits from rolling in, even if you wanted to. E-books have a magic little way of floating around the internet for years and years after their initial release.

Long Term Environmental Advantages

E-books do not use paper so fewer trees will be slaughtered or pulped. They also do not use commercial grade inks and printing chemicals. They are only being printed when people want to print them. There will be no more warehouses full of millions of overprinted or unwanted books. More so, they are being delivered electronically so less petroleum products and associated transport vehicle resources will be used.

What I mentioned is just a small handful of E-book advantages. With these, they will definitely become a part of our future. How big that part is remains to be seen. They will not make real books obsolete because most of us still love to search and browse, flip through, and explore real books. Let us not consider the rise of online access a threat because in fact, its a great help aside from the fact that they don't take up any shelf space, it will also allow librarians to spend less time and money in shelving books and ordering supplies again and more time in helping online and in-person customers to find their needed materials. Eventually, E-books are a new development destined to become important.

GETTING IT ON THE BOOKS. Don't Just Plan It, Schedule It!

GETTING IT ON THE BOOKS
Don?t Just Plan It, Schedule It!

Do you know the difference between planning and scheduling? Planning is deciding WHAT needs to be done and scheduling is deciding WHEN to do it. Planning without scheduling is nothing more than listing a lot of things that never get accomplished, and you can?t schedule tasks that you haven?t decided to do, so the two go hand in hand.

Planning is done with a master list. The master list contains tasks, large and small, short range and long range, in no particular order. Your master list is merely a place to write down all the things you want to do ?sometime?. It?s a general place to keep an inventory of all the things you?d like to complete so you don?t have to store them all in your head.

Trying to keep your master list in your head is counterproductive, and uses valuable mental energy needlessly. Write it down to get it out of your head, so you can free your mind to focus on more important things.

For scheduling, pull a task from the master list, choose the appropriate time to take action, and schedule it into your calendar. If it is a project or a long-term or complex task, break it into manageable pieces and then schedule each of the pieces into your calendar. By breaking your projects and large tasks into small chunks, you will be able to better estimate how long it will take you to finish, and you won't feel overwhelmed by the size of the task.

Planning and scheduling are both valuable habits to develop, as they keep you on track and focused on both your short term and long term goals. At the end of the year you?ll be amazed at how many things you were able to accomplish simply by taking them out of your head and putting them into your calendar.

Hannah Montana "In Concert Collection" Deluxe Singing w/ "The Other Side of Me"

Hannah Montana "In Concert Collection" Deluxe Singing w/ "The Other Side of Me"
This Hannah Doll is dressed up for an electrifying performance and ready to rock the stage. Press a button to hear her sing her hit song, "The Other Side of Me." Includes Hannah doll in authentic outfits from T.V. show, Hannah Montana, microphone, poster and backstage pass. Requires 4 "AG13" button-cell batteries, included. Measures 13" tall.

Customer Review: another "gotta have" for the Hannah Montana set (meant facetiously)

I wish companies would set these toys to play more of the song. It is very annoying to hear the same two or three bars of an already constantly heard song. This was a Christmas gift, but I haven't seen or heard my daughter playing with this much.

Customer Review: FUN with HANNAH!

My 6yo dd loves playing with this doll. She loves wearing the bracelet that came with it. My only complaint would be the back of her head is lacking hair...but that didn't make a difference with my little girl. She loves it. The doll sings very loud, which was surprising, but at least it's only a small portion of the song. I imagine that we will be collecting ALL the Hannah dolls now...

Hannah Montana "Best of Both Worlds" Singing Doll

Hannah Montana "Best of Both Worlds" Singing Doll
Since debuting as the Disney Channel's highest rated premiere, Hannah Montana has won over fans with a mix of playful antics, fresh looks, and chart-topping music. The story centers on young Miley Stewart (a girl-next-door type fans can relate to) who just happens to lead the secret life of pop star Hannah Montana (something fans can aspire to). This singing doll is fashioned on her pop sensation persona and includes the clothing, accessories, and even hit music from the show.

Hannah comes with a mic, brush, poster, and back stage pass.

The 13-inch-tall Hannah is wearing an authentic, albeit miniature, version of an outfit she actually wore on her sold out 70-city tour: black boots, shimmery leggings, a tiered mini-skirt, a print T-shirt, black leather jacket, and bracelet. Other accessories that come with the doll include a small brush to help style her long locks, a backstage pass for you to wear, a poster, and a microphone for Hannah to hold while performing. This last piece is crucial because when it is lifted to Hannah's mouth, the doll actually sings the show's theme song (and her most popular hit) "Best of Both Worlds."

If you prefer her song "The Other Side of Me" there is another Hannah doll available separately. And if you want to reenact her live show in your living room, check out the Hannah Montana In-Concert Pop Stage.

Customer Review: Hannah Montana Doll

My daughter desperately wanted this doll for Christmas. She was thrilled with it. So far it has withstood being completly undressed, redressed, undressed, hair brushed at least a thousand times and playing the recording in the doll at least ten thousand times. My daughter loves her Hannah Montana and the doll appears to be taking the playing wear and tear fairly well. Now if I could only find more outfits for her I'd be happier. Overall a well made doll.

Customer Review: Hannah Montana Singing Doll

This doll was a gift for my six year old niece. She loves that the doll sings although it is only a short clip. She also liked the outfit on the doll as well as the pretend back stage pass.

Customer Review: Sorry I spent my money

I was hoping for a real review. The book seems to compare the top 10 vitamin brand by brochure. I didn't like it!

Customer Review: an excellent guide for consumer

This is an excellent guide for the consumers to choose quality supplements. It gives ratings (1 to 5 stars) to more than 1500 multivitamins in North America. Supplements from Kroger, Walgrees and costco, etc get a very low score of their products. I'm suprised. I highly recommend this book to someone who is taking supplements or considering taking supplements.

Customer Review: Good Idea BUT. . .

This is a good idea but you can only get a few uses out of it before the non-stick coating starts coming off in the cooking/washing. It's also too light weight, not constructed well and flimsy. The lid locking design is hit or miss at best. Stay far away from this one.

Customer Review: Pasta Pot

These pasta pots are great because they are two products in one. First you cook the food in the pot and then drain off the water through the holes in the lid. Great for saving space in the kitchen. They are handy for camping trips and are easy to use.

Maximizing Your Books Earning Potential


Everything in life is worth writing about if you have the guts to do it and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
- Sylvia Plath

If you're going to put out tons of effort writing a book, you should also invest the extra time and energy into creating some strategic components that can really help leverage your promotional options. Building marketing into your book is one way to help maximize your book's earning potential. If done correctly, you could shave hundreds, if not thousands of dollars off of your marketing and publicity budget.
So, how do you get started? Well, its easier than you might think. First you'll want to do a little brainstorming and really begin to focus on your reader. A good analysis of who will be reading your book will help you determine which components need to be included in this book to enhance its marketability. Through this, you can add those things you might have not otherwise considered. Lets say, for example, you are writing a book on relationships or great places to meet your significant other. You might decide to include those places to assist your readers in their search and in so doing have now opened the door to the possibility of offering this book to those sites or singles programs. When it works for your topic, incorporating companies, websites, or other helpful resources is a great way to extend the growth of your book beyond the initial reader, turning it into a "one-stop-shop" and thereby enhancing your marketing avenues. If you're a fiction writer, consider the setting for your book and if possible, why not set it in a real place? This could potentially lead to signings and events where the book is set.
Does your book have a handy resource guide? If it doesn't you should consider adding one. Then you can also offer this same resource guide (and the updates) on your website as well. From this, you can also consider offering special reports that readers can subscribe to; or even a newsletter or mailing list with periodic updates works well. The key here is: you don't want your relationship to end after the reader puts the book down. You want to continue to stay on their radar screen as long as you can.



As you begin to focus on your reader, take a moment to consider what they'd really love to see in your book as opposed to what you'd like to see in it. There is a big difference. When I was putting together my most recent book: From Book to Bestseller (due out this fall), I realized that timelines and check-off lists were big deals to my readers, so I incorporated them. These lists now can also be offered on my website as a downloadable product.
In an ideal marketing world, your book should be its own marketing machine, offering not only the potential for spin-off products (as discussed in our last issue) but also a means to market, market, market and maximize its earning potential. Ideally, you want to capitalize on your book for as long as you can, and turning it into a marketing machine will go a long way toward extending the life and reach of your book, increasing your bottom line and getting you that Chateau in France you always dreamed of.

Customer Review: Kids like it

Bought for my children and they seem to like it. To me, like everything else, I think it is a money pit! They want you to buy all these different characters for the same game. As far as quality it is good, my daughter was slamming it on the desk and it still worked. It was delivered in a timely manner also.

Moon Shoes - Purple

Moon Shoes - Purple
Moon shoes are the original mini trampolines made for feet so kids can jump with anti-gravity effects. Plus, they help to develop balance and coordination. The wacky Moon Shoes are made of quality, high-density plastic, adjustable nylon straps with sure-footing and nonskid treads. They fit up to size 9 men's shoes and hold a maximum total weight of 180 pounds.

Customer Review: My kids love these shoes!

My girls are 5 and 7 years old and they think these shoes are so much fun! I like the fact that they are getting exercise while they are having a ball! The foot is suspended by big rubber bands that give a good bounce. They haven't broken any rubber bands yet. I don't know how long they will last, but I'm glad I bought them.

Customer Review: Moon sheos killed my inner child

I received these as a joke gift from a close friend of mine. I was pretty stoked upon unwrapping the paper and seeing such a silly gift. I still havent managed to get them together. The box claims the shoes will support up to 160 lbs. I weigh about 95.. The instructions say to put one rubber band per slot for under 60lbs and 2 for 60-100, 3 for 100-130lbs etc. I figured I should put three just to be safe. Well stretching three rubber bands is near impossible even if you do them one at a time. As this toy is mean for young children who don't weigh close to 100lbs it should be great. However, if your child weighs more than 60lbs I'd run away from this product as quickly as possible. This toy should really say that it will support up to 160lbs b/c clearly the assembly for such weight is near impossible. Great for tiny kids not great for gag gifts...

Wow, what an amazing gift. This collection rocks, sadly I heard Marvel dropped the contract with the Git Corp. They want to rent out their comics now I guess.

No Country for Old Men (Vintage International)

No Country for Old Men (Vintage International)
In No Country for Old Men, Cormac McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.

Customer Review: starts with a bang ends with a whimper

I'm not sure if I have ever read a book that had such an amazing start and that then became so bad. It went from 4 stars to 2. One of the main problems is that about three-fourths of the way through the novel there was a major turning point and from that point on the novel was so boring that I almost quit reading it. Perhaps McCarthy was trying to do something unique with the non-traditional story structure but it didn't work for me. I felt like the story was done 100 pages before it actually ended. I'm surprised to hear myself saying this but skip the book and see the movie instead.

Customer Review: No Reason to Read this Old Book

As a regional writer("Esther's Race", Cloquet River Press, 2007;ISBN 97809792175001), I am always willing to learn from a master. So when all the accolades came down from on high about Mr. McCarthy's brilliant prose, I had to pick up something he'd written and give it a go. So I trundled off to my local indie bookstore and bought a copy of "No Country", thinking that I was going to be in for a treat. Wrong, wrong, wrong. What I got was a book long on senseless violence and sociopathic brooding with none of the poinancy of say, "Silence of the Lambs." The story moves along as if the ultimate goal is to dishearten and disgust, not tantalize and excite. I for one can get plenty depressed and morose for a lot less money--by reading the daily newspaper--rather than wasting days and dollars on a novel that would have been rejected by any publisher but for the author's name attached to it. To be fair, I didn't want my first and only exposure to McCarthy's writing to be based upon this piece of tripe so I did the unthinkable and went back to the same bookstore and bought a copy of "The Road." Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is a fine novel. Written in starkness and with all the bleak shades of gray that McCarthy should have used in "Old Men" (where the only color of the rainbow is black) had he seen fit to write something worthy of posterity. "The Road" is everything that "Old Men" isn't: beautifully written, gloriously themed and supremely plotted. "The Road" is like the best of Neil Young's music--stark, mystical yet heartfelt. In comparison,"Old Men" reads like purposeless heavy metal noise.

Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Black

Mighty Bright XtraFlex2 Light - Black
Customer Review: Works Perfectly (almost)

If you want a night light for your Kindle, this is the one. Has two settings, and works just fine. Why 4 instead of 5? Because it doesn't work directly on the Kindle and unless you've added Velcro to the back of the Kindle to hold it in it's holder it doesn't work very well there either. But with the little extra space the Velcro adds, it works just fine.

Customer Review: Perfect light for avid readers

Finally--a light to chase away shadows cast by poor lighting plans in hotel rooms, badly placed light in airplanes, and a large personal TVs blocking light on exercycles.



So far, this handly little companion has willingly clasped on everywhere I've put it and the flexible neck permits any variety of light placements. So great I've already given one to my husband and will probably use a bunch of them as gifts throughout the year.

Titles Sell Books


Titles Sell Books
Judy Cullins 2004 All Rights Reserved

A clever title is great if it is clear, but a clear title is always preferable. The best? A clear and clever title. A shorter title is better than a longer one. Your reader will spend only four seconds on the cover. While some long titles have succeeded, usually the shorter, the better.

A title is part of your book's front cover. Busy buyers including bookstore buyers, wholesalers, distributors and your audiences buy mainly because of the cover. Dan Poynter, author of Writing Nonfiction, says, "The package outside sells the product inside." Make your cover sizzle.

Start with a working title before you write your chapters. Include your topic, your subject and use the book's benefits in your sub title if possible. Here's your ten tips for titles that sell:

1. Create impact for your title-check out print and radio ad headlines. Check out other authors' titles on the bookstore shelves. Your title must compel the reader to buy now.

Which title grabs you? Elder Rage or Care Giving for Dad?

2. Include your solution in your title. Does your title sell your solution? Make sure it answers the question rather than asks one. For instance, Got Minerals?, or Minerals: The Essential Link to Health. Use positive language instead of negative. For instance, Without Minerals You'll Die can be Minerals: The Essential Link to Health.

3. Make it easy for readers to buy. Readers want a magic pill. They want to follow directions and enjoy the benefits the title promises. For example, 1001 Ways to Market Your Books by John Kremer gives at least 1001 ways for authors and publishers to market their books.

4. Expand your title to other books, products, seminars, and services. Make sure that your title will work well with the title of your presentations, articles and press releases you'll need to promote the book. Such seminars and teleclasses titled "How to Write and Sell Your Book- Fast!" and "Seven Sure- Fire Ways to Publicize your Business" come under the umbrella "fast book writing, publishing and promoting."

5. Use original expressions--a way of expressing one idea for your book--yours alone. Sam Horn, author of Tongue F!, puts her special twist on defusing verbal conflict.

6. Include benefits in your subtitle if your title doesn't have any. Specific benefits invite sales. For instance, Marilyn and Tom Ross' Jump Start Your Book Sales: A Money-Making Guide for Authors, Independent Publishers and Small Presses.

7. Choose others' book covers in your field as models. Go to your local bookstore with five-colored felt tips pens and paper. Browse the section your book would be shelved on. Choose five book titles and covers that attract you. Photo copy or sketch those, noting the colors, design, fonts, and sizes of fonts. Add other colors you like.

Place the book cover you love near your workstation to inspire you. For the final copy, use professional cover designers if possible.

8. Be outrageous with your book title. People do judge a book by its title. Your reader will spend only four seconds on the front cover and eight seconds on the back cover. It must be so outstanding and catchy that it compels the reader to either buy on the spot or look further to the back cover. Take a risk. Be a bit crazy, even outlandish.

9. Be your strongest salesperson self. Choose the strongest words, benefits, and metaphors to move your audience to buy. Titles do sell books.

10. Include your audience in your title. This gives your book a slant. When your title isn't targeted other famous authors' titles win out. Always make your title clear and make it easy for your audience to recognize they need your book.

Your title and front cover is your book's number one sales tool. Short titles are best, say three to six words. John Gray didn't get much attention with his book "What Your Mother Couldn't Tell You and What Your Father Didn't Know." He shortened it to the now famous, "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus."

An outstanding title sells books. Make sure to give this part of your book, the number one essential "Hot-Selling Point," some time and effort.

Customer Review: Just what I needed

These are just what I needed for my Thinkpad x60s. Now I can finally hear the movies and TV shows I download and watch with iTunes on my laptop while traveling! I recommend this item for anyone who needs a simple and inexpensive way to increase laptop sound when watching downloaded video.

Customer Review: Terrific Little Speaker with Clear, Strong Sound

After reading several dozen consumer reviews describing laptop speakers I puchased this one. You simply plug it into your laptop, or USB hub, swivel the gooseneck to position the speaker where you want, and you've got an excellent speaker that fits in a small laptop utility bag.



The only complaint I have is that there is no quick volume control; once you've plugged it into your USB port, it overrides the laptop's volume control "knob". You have to open the volume icon in your Control Panel every time you want to adjust the speaker volume, which can be too slow when you're being blasted by a loud video.



This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the volume modulation in the speaker itself, just that there seems to be a wide volume range across items I view--YouTube, email messages with videos from friends, etc.



If this speaker had a volume control knob it would be perfect!

Customer Review: not good for bindings

I bought this clear cookbook holder to replace a similar one that broke after years of daily use. This new one really squashes down the pages and it is very difficult to use for thicker cookbooks. I'm worried that it will eventually lead to unnecessary wear and tear on the bindings.

The Spiderwick Chronicles (Boxed Set): The Field Guide; The Seeing Stone; Lucinda's Secret; The Ironwood Tree; The Wrath of Mulgrath

The Spiderwick Chronicles (Boxed Set): The Field Guide; The Seeing Stone; Lucinda's Secret; The Ironwood Tree; The Wrath of Mulgrath
It all started with a mysterious letter left at a tiny bookstore for authors Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. Its closing lines: "We just want people to know about this. The stuff that has happened to us could happen to anyone." Little could they imagine the remarkable adventure that awaited them as they followed Jared, Simon, and Mallory Grace and a strange old book into a world filled with elves, goblins, dwarves, trolls, and a fantastical menagerie of other creatures. The oddest part is in entering that world, they didn't leave this one!

Five captivating books!

One thrilling adventure!

The Spiderwick Chronicles

Customer Review: Great Value!

Confession Time: I had never heard of Spiderwick until we saw commercials for the movie. I decided it would be a good pull to increase my daughters reading - she is on the Autism spectrum, and her reading interests are usually higher than her reading ability, she becomes discouraged and the book collects dust. I purchased the set with the agreement that only after we finished the books we'd go to see the movie.



We just got our set and I was so pleased to see that each book is hardcover and so beautiful in appearance. In the past we've ordered sets marked as hardcover and in fact they were talking about the box they are stored in :P. Last night we began reading, forgot about the TV and found ourselves halfway through the first book in no time at all. Even her 3yr old sister came in to listen. This morning while her baby sister watched TV - my older daughter was exploring the books, reading and looking through the pictures. They are a hit.



Now for the Great Value part. I called our local big chain book store (so I didn't have to wait for them in the mail) it was 67+ for this set . I couldn't believe it. I ordered it from Amazon expecting to wait a week or so to get it. With free shipping it was here in just a few days. I love a great price with great value!

Customer Review: Awesome series

This is a great book series for kids - especially boys. This is the second set I have bought, and I bought it to give to my son's school library!

Customer Review: A Fun DVD - But There is a Technical Oddity

The DVD delivers a lot of Fantastic Four fun. Even includes the comic book ads. If you are a FF comics fan you are sure to like this ... The only thing to be aware of is that, in the case of Windows-XP, you can't simply put the DVD in and watch for the opening screen to emerge. You have to boot up with the DVD already in the drive. When the boot-up is finished then you can use

Windows Explorer to view the images (The Apple Mac does not have this problem).

Customer Review: Great buy

I enjoyed reading the comics and I loved the convenience of having them all in one place. With this many comics, I never would have had the space to store them.



However, I deducted one star, but not for content. There are much nicer comic readers out there than Adobe that they can use.

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book
Disney's 1967 animated feature seems even more entertaining now than it did upon first release, with a hall-of-fame vocal performance by Phil Harris as Baloo, the genial bear friend of feral child Mowgli. Based on fiction by Rudyard Kipling, the film goes its own way as Disney animation will, but the strong characters and smart casting (George Sanders as the villainous tiger, Shere Khan) make it one of the studio's stronger feature-length cartoons. Songs include "The Bare Necessities" and "Trust in Me." --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Racist

A long time ago an African American friend criticized this movie because it was racist. I'm white and couldn't understand her perspective, that was before VHS and it was impossible to view the movie when I wanted to. Years past and I had kids, we rented it one day and I was horrified at the lyrics sung by Louie, the ape. Do you really want your children listening to an ape singing (with an exagerated Southern accent), "I want to be a man... An ape like me can learn to be human...Someone like me can learn to be someone like you..." It is very racist and we didn't finish the movie. Think about it.

Customer Review: kid's movies

Excellent movie for young children and adults as well. My grandson (2 yrs) has watched it enough to sing the songs in it. Very good movie. Buy it. Watch it over and over.

Customer Review: Jackson'sMom

I also found I wanted to inclued more information, so I purchased some sheet protectors with holes punched in them. Since it is a three-ring binder, I was able to add alot more to the book!
