Giveaways are a huge attraction factor too (maybe once a month, a contest sort of thing?). I'm not a fan of e-readers. I think they are convenient and (in the long run) more affordable, but there's something so wonderful about holding a book in your hands, curling up with a good book (I mean curling up with a machine? bleh). It's good though that you guys offer e-book readers. Can't wait to see the books being offered and the new and improved site!

It's resulted in a couple of purchases from me so far. I'll have to ask CatGirl about her e-reader habits. She listens to a lot of audiobooks (including the Old Kingdom trilogy!) and I think she read Little Brother as an e-text.
