The library in my pocket

9/8/2014

Thank goodness for Kindle, the library in my pocket. Much as I love the feel, the smell, the look of paper based literature, age has deprived me of the ability to handle large tones easily. A case in point, I recently purchased and read An Intimate War by Mike Martin.  I paid for the hardback version as I believe it to be a marvel of research, a thesis beyond compare, and that it should be available in the library of every university and Military Academy. I am proud to display it upon my own bookshelves. Its only faults, the weight of it upon my arthritic hands and the static size of the font to my increasingly poor eyesight. This is where the Kindle wins everytime.  
The among other arguments circulating far and wide these days, are the questions about self publishing and Print on Demand much favoured by Indie Writers such as myself. 
Again I say thank goodness for the opportunity such sites as CreateSpace give to us, to be able to have the tools to control and edit our own publication from start to finish is a life affirming experience. Agents and publishers, editors and proofreaders are quaking because we are no longer dependent upon them. I have been set free by CreateSpace's free service and software suitable to my aging abilities. Check out pelhammcmahon.co.uk Also on FB and Twitter
