Dear Author has some great tips on how bloggers can get into book reviewing.
Sony’s eBook Library software (Windows and Mac) is freeware and you don’t need a Sony Reader to use it. Calibre (Windows, Mac, Linux) is another free ebook library manager that has lots of options for converting non-DRM ebooks into different formats.
Consumerist sort of got answers to their questions about Kindle licensing.
TeleRead linked to an interesting article on what Amazon’s competitors might want to consider if they plan to beat the Kindle.
Asus could have an ebook reader out by the holidays.
I like the idea of “crowd sourcing” ebook error corrections. I could put together a list! 😉
Awful Library Books found a pretty scary knitting book still on the shelves…
Dang, this is way too long already. Hmm. How about some gratuitous abs?
“Please come home from work, Mom. I miss you!” -Mayhem
“Oh, never mind. The big kitty said we have to be mad at you.” -Mayhem
I just hope i win that radio, or i might have to buy one. I didn’t know such a thing was out there. Of course, I never looked.
Little May sitting in a tote bag(I think). Silly girl. She doesn’t look mad;-D
Peaking out from under an avalanche of paper to say, “thank you for the links, Chris”…
Best

Ew ew ew that is one gross knitting book! Why did the 80’s have so many clothes that SUCKED???! (And why are they coming back in style, for that matter!)
Since when do you listen to what the big kitty says?!
Ooo – bunches of free Kindle books this morning. Also – free wifi internet radio? I am there!
Oh Chris, thanks for all those wonderful links… Especially the last one… yummy!!!
I hope work is going smooth for you… and I hope the work load is not to big!
I love Mayhem!!! She is adorable!!! The big kitty said that they need to still be mad at you, huh!!! Girl, you love your mommy up… Put that tiara on and tell that big kitty where to go!! LOL!!!
Oy, that knitting book. OY!
Swinging by to tell you about this book:
Dying Bites (http://www.amazon.com/Dying-Bites-Bloodhound-D-Barant/dp/0312942583). Really enjoyed it. No knitting….I’m quilting in what time I have. Lisa
Link-o-rama! Thanks, Chris.
I’m waiting for a clear victor to emerge in the e-reader wars.
Nasty knitting book! 80s styles are coming back, although marketers studiously avoid saying that. It’s like all the new station wagons that are now “cross over vehicles.”
Hang in there, May! Mom would rather spend time with you than with code, so she will as soon as she can. Ignore the big kitty.
I thought I saw that awful knitting book the other day.
Mary Jane would love that cat bed.
That is a truly awful knitting book. I mean, even the title’s font is bad.
i won’t even tell you what my two do when I’m gone too long.
of all the links, of course i click on ‘gratuitous abs’ mmmm.
I really need to write down a list of some of the authors you’ve reviewed. My last pull from the romance section was more pandering at fantasy and didn’t have a conclusion. Bah!
Oh, funny! Look at all these links!!! I just went through a buried in work blitz and I was scared to even look at blogland for a while, as I felt SO behind. Hope the smoke clears soon.
How do you like our new isles monster???
May is just pretending to look cute and innocent in those pictures!
Looks like September is already shaping up to be a busy month and it’s only the 2nd. Love the links!! Thanks!
Oh, poor Mayhem!
I wouldn’t be surprised if that knitting book is in our library.
Something tells me Chaos and May are plotting their revenge.
Aw, May, cheer up! Your mom misses you, too, I’m sure!
Every time I hook up my Reader, the Sony software freezes and dies. SO frustrating…
