Over the holiday season, Amazon.com reported not only a record number of Kindle readers sold, but a surge in eBook purchases that surpassed sales of print books. Whether fiction or non-fiction, romance or biographical, digital books are fast becoming mainstream among the reading population. Lesbians who enjoy curling up with a good book may find it equally satisfying to obtain a reader like the Kindle, the eSlick, or the Sony Reader to catch up on favorite authors.
Advantages of Owning an eBook Reader
The major benefit of the Amazon Kindle is the ease of use. Purchases of new titles may be made instantly, any time of the day, with books downloaded wirelessly to devices. Each Kindle connects to the Amazon home site where the user can browse favorite authors and genres, and even sample chapters before buying. Owners of smart phones like the iPhone and BlackBerry can turn them into book readers with simple applications. Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo are three such companies offering free apps that also connect to online stores.
eBook readers can hold several books within the device, which means much saved space for the avid reader -- less books to lug around on vacation! Depending on the reader, too, you may have a backlight option for easy browsing at night.
Once you have made the decision to purchase an electronic book reader, you'll want to fill it up with your to be read wish list! If works of lesbian romance, mystery with lesbian sleuths, and similar genres appeal to you, you'll find there are a number of online stores with a wide selection of titles for you to enjoy. Some of the more popular ones include
Amazon.com - The queen mother of book and DVD shops, Amazon provides a large selection of titles for its proprietary reader. While many critics of this retail giant do not approve of the site's pricing practices (most Kindle titles are priced at $9.99, more than the cost of a mass market paperback), titles are rather easy to purchase for registered users.
AllRomance.com - This independent e-tailer is popular with small publishers, but don't let the name fool you. AllRomance also runs OmniLit.com, a marketplace for other genres of eBooks. At AllRomance.com, readers will find an entire category for lesbian romance searchable by date, word count, and best selling designation.
Smashwords.com - This unique site offers works from small and large press and independent authors. If you feel daring enough to try an unsigned lesbian author, do a search and see what's available here. Smashwords authors set their own prices, and often offer free works for your enjoyment.
Kobobooks.com - Kobo specializes in a free app for smart phones and iTouch devices, and their online store allows readers to search for their favorite lesbian-themed stories. Enjoy classic works by Rita Mae Brown and Ellen Hart as well as sexy Sapphic romances and erotica!
With an eBook reader you can carry a virtual library of lesbian fiction anywhere you go. Once you finish a great book, you don't have to go to the bookstore for another one, just download it where you sit and start reading.
