Three.

[John G.]

Dentist done. Treating myself to a raspberry croissant as a reward.

[Jane]

From DR John:

I can’t make this stuff up. Sadly someone else did.

 

[Jane]

John, I was relieved to see your next post that you turned it off

[Jane]

From Bruce:

I do not understand any book that's 1,000 pages, sorry.

I used to love long books, then they lasted longer.

[Jane]

Now I tend to get restless in the middle of a book and am fine with most books not lasting that long-lol

[Jane]

Maybe because I don't read as fast as I used to.

[Jane]

If I opened The Ink Black Heart on my Libby app it would likely tell me the book is 5,000 pages.

[Jane]

Overdrive counts the pages as if I was reading a hard copy, same with my Kindle & Nook apps. 

[Jane]

The most annoying change between my Overdrive app & Libby is that the photos on Libby look like negatives.  Has anyone else using Libby noticed this problem?

[Jane]

Sorry about falling asleep last night while reading my book, but it happens. It's not a reflection on the book.  I am enjoying it, for the most part.

I do it all the time.  I just wish I stayed asleep for the rest of the night.

[Jane]

Why would Amazon care if you chose free for Amazon Primers? Lame.

Ditto!

[Jane]

Today is my sister Linda’s birthday.

Happy birthday to Linda.

Nice.

[Jane]

BK, have you seen Romi and Michele’s High School Reunion? Mira Sorvino is funny in it. Sweet comedy.

I agree.

[Jane]

Headache of the morning. Will a reader who sees “AF” on a page know that it means Africa and not “as f—-?”

I don't think so.

A Very Happy Birthday to Linda!!

From Bruce:

It all depends on the book. I read that Galbraith book in a week. The January 6th Report was also more than 1,000 pages, and I read it in a week, too.

[John G.]

I recall reading the 1,200 pages of War and Peace in seven marathon sessions.

[John G.]

But, as Sondheim says, I was younger then.

[George]

TOD: I think Amazon should allow content creators to charge or not to charge as they see fit. Annoyingly annoying.

I wonder if it might be because Amazon gets a cut of everything "sold" and that would be given away.  Even if they wold normally take let's say 50%, 50% of zero dollars is zero dollars to Amazon.

[George]

Just a thought.

Africa wouldn't be my first thought...Adult Fiction would be.

[George]

Sondheim's final, unfinished Buňuel musical will be staged Off-Broadway this fall.

Cool!

Our own Larry Moore is mentioned in a review of Dear World:

If I opened The Ink Black Heart on my Libby app it would likely tell me the book is 5,000 pages.

My Kindle gives percentages, and "locations."  Right now, I'm at 35% and location # 6781 of 19107. 

[George]

As for the equivalent number of pages for the physical book, I got that information from Amazon's page for the hardback edition.

[George]

The most annoying change between my Overdrive app & Libby is that the photos on Libby look like negatives.  Has anyone else using Libby noticed this problem?

I wonder if that's a setting.  Some apps have that.  I switched my Twitter app to have the dark background with white letters.

[John G.]

Let’s move on…
