I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house? Looks lovely.” Which was a blatant lie, because the fixer-upper was barely livable, much less acceptable to a neat-freak like his aunt. She also left four matching pink and purple floral suitcases on the stoop behind her. Only then did Ashwin notice the cab driver standing slightly to the side of the walkway. “Can ...
I saw this question on Goodreads and thought I’d ask this here:
If you have BOTH an ereader (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, etc.) AND a Tablet (iPad, iPad Mini, etc.) or a smarphone, which do you use predominantly for reading ebooks? And WHY?
I have an iPad, iPhone, and a Nook Simple Touch. I really like the e-ink screen of the Nook, but I have to admit that turning pages is easier on my iPad and iPhone because the screen is more responsive. I will usually prop up my iPad and read using my Nook app, and I’ll be able to eat or knit (something simple) while I read.
If I go on my exercise bike, then I’ll usually use my Nook Simple Touch since it’s a nice size to read on.
However, if I’m out and waiting in line or something (like at the post office) I’ll usually whip out my iPhone and start reading on my Nook app while I’m in line. It’s nice always having my books with me!
So how about you? And be sure to say exactly why you use what you use to read!

So, I only have a Kindle to use for reading. Sigh.
I now use the Nexus 7 the most because it's the one I carry in my purse. I use my phone if for some reason I don't have the Nexus or if the battery has gone dead. I love the size of the Nexus.
I have an ipad (1st generation) and a Nook. I use the ipad far more, because of the apps where I can switch back and forth between Kindle, ibooks, diesel and Nook. I just don't use the nook as much. I might see myself getting a Kindle, because of their borrowing program, but Nook doesn't have that, nor do they discount their e-books.

*Kindle: reading actual book contents. Easy to read for long time, don't need network connection, great battery life.
*laptop: multi-task - can read and do FB, email, chat at the same time. ;) Almost never read kindle content on laptop.
