In place of my favorite bookstore, I've found something even more addictive...a 24/7 Kindle Store library with sample chapters and loads of reviews and related (translate as caught in an endless maze) book recommendations. No longer do I have to sneak peeks at DTBs in a bookstore or lament that the bookstore closed for the night when I want that book NOW! My personal Kindle "bookstore" is open when Whispernet is on and wherever I am at that time!
The Kindle Store "book maze" seems to hit me mostly when I'm *between* novels.....what will be the next novel? Is there a better one still? Am I sure I want to read this one now or should I read another before it? Download, sample, read, and repeat! Read a book review in a magazine or hear about a book on TV? Open the Kindle store now! A constant hunt for the Next Great Book to read.
Last night I was ready to start my third Kindle novel and instead spent (embarrassingly) nearly two hours in the Kindle store sampling and perusing. Why should the decision on *which book to read next* be so daunting? Because I have an entire library of books at my Kindletips just begging to be read. Is anyone else so distracted by the Kindle store?
