Do you remember ‘Lethal Inheritance’? It’s happening at last.

October 4, 2012 by Tahlia Newland

Lethal Inheritance is the book I started this blog for just after I found an agent  to represent it. It's also the book that inspired me to start writing., which means that it's very close to my heart.  Some of you have followed my journey for the last two years, some of you have only started following recently, but the great news is that I've decided to take my writing career fully into my own hands. My Indie publishing company Catapult Press is publishing it  on ebook this month. At this stage there are no plans to produce a paperback, so if you haven't got an ereader yet, it's time to take the plunge.

But I have had 3 different ereaders and used them all for a reasonable amount of time, so I think I have a pretty good understanding of what works and what makes a good ereader. I haven't looked at the Nook or the Kobo though, so this comparison doesn't include them, but if you're thinking of buying one of them you might find it worthwhile to check if they have the features that I find really helpful. I’ve already done a comparison of the Sony touchscreen, the Australian Kogan and the screen of the kindle – based on a quick look at my daughter’s one. Today, now that I have my own kindle keyboard, I’m going to share with you why I think it’s the best ereader available, at least for Australia where the Nook isn’t an option (B&N don’t sell to Australia). I haven’t tried the Kobo, … [Read more...]
