and other eReaders (like the NOOKcolor eBook Tablet)
this year, but if you have, then you know there have been more eBooks sold this year than actual hard copy books. As a lover of hard copy books I'm not surprised by the popularity of the eReaders. What I'm surprised at is how quickly the eBooks have surpassed the print copies. In fact, it's really kind of sad. There's just something to holding a book in your hands and flipping through all the pages that is lost with an electronic device.
However, you can certainly take thousands of books with you with one eReader tucked into your pocketbook and that is not something you can easily do with 1,000 print books. Plus, eReaders can read e-patterns (like my .PDF Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns) so that is a BIG PLUS for crafters. Just think of having an eReader right next to your sewing machine or on your craft table. How great would that be?
In fact, this year I'm determined to get an eReader to not only see see how my e-patterns would look on it, but to see how some of the craft eBooks look on it. I'm not sure which one I'll get as of yet. That will be a surprise.
It seems that many, many craft books are now being converted to eBooks. So many so that's it's hard to keep up with all of them.
So, I decided to add a Craft E-Books and Kindle Products page to my Linda's Bookstore For Books About Crafts and Crafting and a Doll eBooks and Kindle page to my Linda's Bookstore for Books on Dolls, Doll Making, Doll Collecting, Doll History and More.
In my book reviews going forward I will let you know if the craft book I am reviewing is available in eBook form and provide a link for you to purchase it if you want.
Of all the craft books I have reviewed so far the following are available in eBook form:
My review page - Creative Cloth Doll Making
The crafts eBook future looks bright indeed.
I can hardly wait to get me eReader to let you know what I think of craft books in eBook form.
Stay tuned.
