I don't want you to have to wait until the next issue of my Sharing with Writers newsletter to see this news. Just like the old journalist I am, I like to be first (or close to first!) with the news! So her it is, just as it will appear in my newsletter in June.
In the News: Coming from Kindle: A great benefit for writers who must do lots of research. Called “Kindle Library Lending” it will allow Kindle owners to access every e-book available in any library’s system and it should work just like other books on Kindle, that is allow Kindle to keep track of the last page a reader read and allow readers to highlight and make notes on text. The difference is, these are library books, so they may only be “checked out” for seven to fourteen days, depending on the specific library's policies. Reported by the LA Times.
By the way, anyone who would like to subscribe to Sharing with Writers need only send an e-mail to me with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line (HoJoNews@aol.com). I'm happy to do it for you.
