...book covers?
Hi everyone-- this is a great community and resource. I was an early Sony Reader user, had a K1 and am waiting for my K2. Came here when I wondered, "are there any nicer covers for Kindle than the one I have.....?"-- little did I know! You guys are terrific.
Anyway-- I still love paper books. Love them. And one reason is that I covet covers. I'm fascinated by jacket designs and the process that authors, designers and publishers use to make them. I have been sucked in many a time by a purty dust jacket. I have been swayed more than once because of a cool cover. I do miss them using my Kindle. Anyone else?
And because I love paper books so much, I also (ducking for cover) hate hate hate the term "Dead Tree Book". It seems kind of derisive and mocking to me. I can see why some of you use it; you really can't call a paper book a "real" book anymore. But I still don't think I'll ever get used to using DTB as a name for those heavy, clunky, space-eating, expensive things I still love!
Thanks for all the of great info here. It's been wonderful! (and addicting).
