SOL 26 Some Learning Required

My new toy is dangerous.  Late Saturday, I downloaded a book, Some Assembly Required for 12.99. I read voraciously that evening and I would be reading right now....except I can't seem to find the book!

It used to be that I had a LIST of books to borrow or buy.....time passed...and often they were loaned to me.....I bought books and loaned them to others.....I see all this changing...but at least I will be helping the e-economy!  Specially if I have to order NEW books because I can't find the old ones!

Hold on world...I hope to figure out this App thing when I am no longer consumed by my SOL challenge and I have a little more time.

Could get expensive.

Anita, thank you for my 'letter'. Wouldn't it be fun to surprise your mom with a letter?! Your post is fun, and I didn't realize a book could be lost among the e-atmosphere. I did get an IPad but have had little time to fully explore. I'm glad you mentioned this so I'll be wary now. (I thought I heard someone say that you could get it again if you've already bought it.) Best wishes in the search!

Uh-oh! I have a Kindle that I have used for a couple of years, that I actually like, when I remember to use it and when it has not been a while, so I can still figure it out. I have an iPad, but have not used it as an ereader. I'm nervous now about switching over. But I really want to read Ann LaMott's latest. She's coming to Denver this week, and I'm thinking I will go. You can't get a ticket unless you buy the actual hard cover book though! So I have to buy it, right?

Hmmm...I use my iPad as an e-reader all the time! I use the iBooks app, so I can't loan out or borrow books. I've never had the problem of a book disappearing, but I have had books missing pages! I simply deleted the book and redownloaded it. Since I'd already paid for it, it didn't charge me a second time. It downloaded and was complete. I hope this helps! :)

I love my iPad as a reader, and also have the Kindle app on it. I really don't read any other way now. No dust. No sneezing. It's reKindled my desire to read! The only question I have is how to get an author to sign a copy of my ebook!

Anita, it is not gone. Just misplaced. It won't cost you to download it again. I know what you mean, though. I am still learning the ropes, too. With the Cloud, there is so much more to learn.
