Happy Holidays From Brad’s Reader
It’s only a few days before Christmas, meaning all you procrastinators out there still have 2 more days to buy all those presents. For the rest of us, we can relax. Thanks to the good people at Amazon, all of my shopping gets done in my bathrobe and slippers.
The end of December is also the birthday of Brad’s Reader. This year, I’m proud to say that I’ve been blogging for 4 years now. What started as a blog on Google’s Blogger platform to muse about literature, philosophy and writing, became the blog you know today. I never imagined that in 4 years my main focus would become ebooks and digital publishing.
That said, here are a few random notes worth your attention:
Brad’s Reader Annual Giveaway
One tradition I’ve tried to keep over the years has been to do a Brad’s Reader Birthday Giveaway. This usually involves readers leaving a comment on a specific post, I pick one at random, and the winner gets an Amazon Gift Card. I’m going to do the same this year, however, it won’t be until after the New Year – so stay tuned for further details.
Playing With the iPad
Now that I’ve had a few weeks to play around with my iPad, I can say that I’m loving it. I downloaded the Amazon Kindle app (as Amazon has a much better selection of ebooks at better prices). I’ve only downloaded a few free titles so far. I’m looking forward to reading a few ebooks and comparing the experience to my Sony Pocket eReader.
Postings Might Be Sparse for Next 2 Weeks
It goes without saying that because of the holidays, I probably won’t be posting all that much. Between spending time with family and drinking too much Egg Nog, I won’t have a lot of free time on my hands. And we have a 4-month old baby this year, which adds a new dynamic to the holidays.
With that said, Happy Holidays!
