As for me, I'm back into the real pages of a real book. No brightness backlight and fonts and columns to constantly adjust, no falling asleep reading and discovering the battery- exhausted iPad in the morning, or worrying about whether I might drop the iPad as I sleepily put it on the nightstand after I've fallen asleep reading. Reading is my escape and iPad is my distraction. I really don't want to mix the two. Escape is essential. Distraction is throwaway.

MEETS GIRL * ESCAPE v. DISTRACTION
As for me, I'm back into the real pages of a real book. No brightness backlight and fonts and columns to constantly adjust, no falling asleep reading and discovering the battery- exhausted iPad in the morning, or worrying about whether I might drop the iPad as I sleepily put it on the nightstand after I've fallen asleep reading. Reading is my escape and iPad is my distraction. I really don't want to mix the two. Escape is essential. Distraction is throwaway.

Dianne,
Just wanted to say thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Thanks to Sue, as well, for recommending it.
Just want to note, a print copy should be available at Amazon (though I think it might have a few typos, as it's not as easy to update as the Kindle version). But I totally get what you mean about escapes versus distractions. I tend to read most on my Kindle, which only does books; if I try to read on my iPad, I end up going to Twitter and checking email and popping over to Safari.
Thanks again, and happy reading!
Will! I was at my bead group sitting next to Sue when I received the email that told me you had commented. We were thrilled to hear from you. Thank you for giving us Meets Girl. I'm going to track down your other works. Dianne
