...Haha, my pictures are hardcore to the max! >:D<br /><br />But yeah. Maybe you'll get an e-reader eventually. Supposedly Amazon is going to start giving them away for free (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20040764-1.html), not to mention the cheaper and cheaper models (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20052878-1.html?tag=mncol;1n).Sarah Robertsonhttp://squidinksarah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-4457350454937903592011-04-11T11:48:01.966-06:002011-04-11T11:48:01.966-06:00I really like this idea.

But I can't handle making major edits unless I'm writing them down, so I actually have a printed out copy of my story. It's a glorious 371 pages that I'm going to be doing the actual edits on. :)<br /><br />And you! Go forth and write! * whip crack*Sarah Robertsonhttp://squidinksarah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-34202033374509299352011-04-06T19:28:43.705-06:002011-04-06T19:28:43.705-06:00This is a really great idea! But, I'm kind of...This is a really great idea! But, I'm kind of curious, when you want to make a change to particular passage, do you just write yourself a note on a piece of loose leaf or something? It's hard for me to fathom revising something without it being on paper and in front of me. I know that's also not ideal for 100,000+ word pieces of work.<br /><br />This is something I should consider doing in the future. That is if I ever get around to writing all the stories in my head. I need discipline (by the way, totally just tried to spell "discipline" as "dispiplce")!Jackiehttp://booksntea.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-40575246102111474262011-04-06T13:09:53.710-06:002011-04-06T13:09:53.710-06:00Aww, the Kindle 2 isn't so bad. *hugs*
I neve...Aww, the Kindle 2 isn't so bad. *hugs*<br /><br />I never thought of using the note feature.

I love how Calibre makes working with e-books so easy.<br /><br />And sweet! I wasn't aware that you could actually put galleys on an e-reader like that. Now if I ever get any I can avoid my eyes melting. :)Sarah Robertsonhttp://squidinksarah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-19165753515156477622011-04-06T12:59:25.685-06:002011-04-06T12:59:25.685-06:00Great idea!

Plus, like you mentioned, Calibre is a great site for converting different formats!<br />I have to say that, so far, I only use it to read all those galleys that would otherwise make me go blind reading them on the computer screen. I do have the intention to upload my drafts on it too though.Birgitnoreply@blogger.com
