"I'm sure there was a poll/discussion on the reader forum on kindleboards not long back. And every writer was, and still is, a reader too!"

"I hate them. I hate reading an ebook and I'm only at 90%, turn the page and it's the end. What? I feel cheated. If I want to read something else by that author, I'm quite capable of googling. A simple url is all that is needed at the…"
