#Noisy Reading in Bed!!! - get an E-book Reader

So, my husband is a very light sleeper.  I like to read before I go to bed.  The turning of the pages and the bedside light bother him, so I purchased a light that hooks on to the page - well that works good for me but he can still see the light and we still have the problem of the page turning!!! (Yes, I hear you all, sleep in separate bedrooms you shout - I have to find something else).

So, talking to my friend Margaret, she said she had an "e-book reader" and it would completely solve my problems.  Firstly there is back lighting which is subtle and there is no turning of the page, so noisy book problem will go away!!  Problem solved!

So, even though I am a "book" person and do not want to give up my lovely books, the smell, the feel and I actually love to put my finger and thumb on the top right corner of the next page in anticipation of moving the story along over the page.....for the sake of doing something I love I may just have to get myself an "e-book reader".

I don't think books will ever go out of style but I guess some of us may have to go "kicking and screaming" with the new technology - in my case it just might be easier than buying a whole new bedroom set, sheets, lamps, pictures etc. and moving into a new bedroom!

So, for all new authors and those of you already published, whether you want to or not, you need to make sure that your book can be accessed in this format, make sure your book is everywhere it needs to be.  Research how this needs and can be done, speak with the experts and get your book in the hands of those who still love the smell and feel the real book you can hold in your hand and especially those who love to move with the times and technology and want to have that quiet read at night before they go to sleep!
