I got the hot tip from Gregg, downloaded the free Kindle application to my iPhone, then went to Amazon to get for free the first three chapters of about 25 Elmore novels. Sweet.
I’m sitting around waiting somewhere, anytime when usually I’d wish I had a book, and there on the iPhone I now have all this great reading.
The downside: I finished the free sample portion of Glitz and wanted more. Of course there’s a handy link at that point, and of course I hit it, and 6 bucks and about a minute later I’m reading Glitz again. I must have 4 reading copies of the book lying around in different places, but the ease of acquisition and the burning desire for more, right now, overcame my ability to be patient.
I can see now this’ll probably happen with each sample I get into. On the other hand, 6 bucks is cheap and being able to read Elmore whenever I want, wherever I am, is a big life-enhancer.
Those with iPhones may want to check this out.
