I have many friends who don't have a computer, a Kindle, or use their phone as a way to read books. I know I loose readers that way. On the other hand, I agree with Ray, it gives writers an easier chance to publish their writing. I would prefer to read a hard copy of a book, myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404100997386474731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659870210800608258.post-52251039715919891202016-02-17T18:20:36.806-05:002016-02-17T18:20:36.806-05:00Rasy's reviews on AfterDark Online are fantast...Rasy's reviews on AfterDark Online are fantastic reviews because he gets right o the details of how he presents his review and is not restricted to word count which many channels do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404100997386474731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659870210800608258.post-67840209603028924822016-02-17T18:16:02.730-05:002016-02-17T18:16:02.730-05:00I read the book rapidly the first time.
