I'd toyed with this idea too, so now must try it. May help with editing. I can't wait to read your amazing books, so get editing!Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-5065458873736969482013-10-20T05:14:40.265+08:002013-10-20T05:14:40.265+08:00Can't wait till I get to say I can read my own...Can't wait till I get to say I can read my own books on my mobile kindle!!Tammy Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128574900510175415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-8638194020014661882013-10-19T22:33:07.524+08:002013-10-19T22:33:07.524+08:00Hi Trisha ..

I can quite believe you're like a kid in a sweetie shop - toggling between your own books ... what fun.<br /><br />I enjoy books - but I do use the Kindle to download to .. then take a while to upload them! Hopeless and as for stopping reaching others' books ... I just need to start ..<br /><br />Enjoy your new found editing abilities!

Gosh, I got plenty of nuttin'.<br /><br />I did download a kindle book to my desktop the other day and that worked okay. Thank goodness it was only 42 pages long. I'm not thrilled about reading books on my computer.
