If not, you might want to rethink what else your tax guy has told you it is okay to "write off" for tax purposes.<BR/><BR/>I am not the IRS. I just work for people who get taxed by them every day. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-54536199996676263752008-10-11T20:38:00.000-04:002008-10-11T20:38:00.000-04:00Have a Sony and mostly use it to read EC books.

If you watch the prices on the Sony site, they drop about six months after the first release date. <BR/><BR/>Also, according to my tax guy, my Sony was tax deductible because I use it as a marketing device to let prospective readers read "samples" from my books. Sort of a demo for both the digital reader and my books.anny cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769733659120481918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-37410574951819134842008-10-09T14:19:00.000-04:002008-10-09T14:19:00.000-04:00I was thinking of getting a Cybook, because it's v...I was thinking of getting a Cybook, because it's very friendly to most formats, although I'm told pdf is a bit tricky.<BR/>But it comes loaded with several readers, including Mobi and Ereader, so it looks like a goer.<BR/>Anybody tried one?lynneconnollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687025766573756077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-46324657729314363022008-10-09T09:27:00.000-04:002008-10-09T09:27:00.000-04:00I got a Kindle as a gift last year and I still hav...I got a Kindle as a gift last year and I still have an Ebookwise reader. <BR/><BR/>I wish EC/CP books formatted better on the Kindle (i.e., I wish they were in Kindle format). They come across sort of gobbley on the device. And it's a pain to transfer them there. I love just going to my Kindle, searching the store, and downloading a book -- talk about inpulse shopping.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I just bought the Last Lecture based on your other post. I bought it on my computer. When I get home tonight, I'll turn on my Kindle and it will download. Now THAT'S a great shopping experience!J Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016624838926050085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-57633958539766219962008-10-09T08:53:00.000-04:002008-10-09T08:53:00.000-04:00Oh, Raelene, I just got a Kindle!

I just uploaded a couple Ellora's Cave titles. <BR/><BR/>I'm getting rid of all my paper books, save ten or so.<BR/><BR/>I did stop buying all books for a whole year in order to save up for the Kindle. It was torture, but it was worth it!Spy Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299551957327543491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-38480165237289471502008-10-08T21:39:00.000-04:002008-10-08T21:39:00.000-04:00A little side effect of my research for this post:...A little side effect of my research for this post: in my email today was a message from Amazon.
