I remember when I had finally given my K2 to my lady. She had previously scoffed at the idea of eReaders -- said that she'd never give up her paper books! -- but she finally got curious enough to want one. I was in the market for a K3 anyway, so it worked out good.
She was shocked speechless when she saw I had a category called "Adult" which had 5 smut books in it. I've never shown the least bit of interest in stories like that, so she was wondering what else she didn't know about me lol. I had to explain to her that those books had come from Smashwords, and I had just plucked them from the top of the "Top 100" chart the day I was testing to see if SW actually worked on a Kindle -- and I hadn't actually ever read them.
She spent the next hour or so reading two of the short smut stories, then looks up at me ...
Her: ... and these were free?
Me: Yup, completely free.
Her: Show me how to get more.
Me: Oh boy ...
She has been a big fan of ebook smut ever since! The funny thing is, ever since she started reading on a Kindle she has been more open to reading new things. She has even been dabbling and enjoying Sci-Fi / Fantasy, which she NEVER would have given the time of day before. She wouldn't even walk through that isle in a bookstore. Now, she'll read anything if it sounds interesting to her.
I caught her crying a couple times yesterday as she read Enders Game for the first time in her life. I said, "Let it out honey, let it out", and she laughed and said, "Oh, shut up!". Hehe
