Thank you everyone for visiting and leaving a comment. Ali’s sentiments very much reflect my own. Alison: Thank you so much for appearing on Showcase. A great post! Kit 🙂
Great excerpt and thanks for sharing your insights on the whole ebook vs Kindle experience. I am with you every step of the way there. Ebooks no doubt are the future but there is a huge community of readers out there who want a paper copy. I’ve found this to be especially true since I’ve moved away from a relatively big city to a comparatively small city that’s a little behind the times! Good on you and best of luck with all your endavours, you will have every success! XXXX
Interesting post Ali and huge congrats on the success of A Kettle of Fish! It’s wonderful ThornBerry are supporting you in acknowledging that paperback still has a place, although ebooks sell in much higher numbers these days. I never thought I’d love my Kindle, but I do! Yes, a book feels great in the hand, but my Kindle tucks into my bag and is with me always!
Your journey to publishing is much the same as mine. Except I went with a publisher that first published the books in e-format, then in print. Then tried an indie one with a friend. Doing the anthology in it. Now I’m hoping traditionally printed books and print on demand ones will get a closer in price.
Great blog and excerpt. Wishing you the best with A Kettle Of Fish
Hi Carol – good to see you! Yes, I’m increasingly finding that a real book represents relaxation and ‘reading for pleasure’ whereas Kindle reading is more a case of duty reads, review swops etc. (although of course these can be vey pleasurable too!) However where I once missed the ability to flick through an e-book, I’m now finding I miss the ‘annotations’ feature in a real book. Will have to invest in some yellow stickies!

A lovely interview Ali and one that echoes the experience I had when I told people I was having my first book published as an eBook. Funnily enough I published my second in paperback first (also with FeedARead and found that I was getting emails asking when it would be available on Kindle!
I think that eBooks are the future yet there will always be a love for the paperback and I too prefer to have something to keep on a shelf. I use computers all day s it is nice to sit in a chair and turn pages.
I wish you enormous success with your novel which is a super read.

Hi Nicky – hope people of Lincoln aren’t reading this, but I know what you mean. Outside big cities there is less techno-buzz.!

I do agree with Ali, Carol. There is nothing that matches that feel of a “proper” book in your hand. I believe there is definitely a place for both. 🙂
