Thanks folk, but we are not quite there yet.
"Why doesn't she read the description on Amazon?"
For the same reason that she doesn't pick the choices to download. She regards computers as a waste of (her) time - just as emails being a poor substitute for a chat on the phone. YES - I know that is wrong. But I am more interested in having a quiet and happy life than educating one more Brit about the joys of technology.
Yes, an author is a good guide but if you have just read one adventure story set in Scotland it may not be the right time to read one from another author but also based in Scotland. Or a way of avoiding something totally out of style from a normally well liked author.
In the UK the norm is to put some form of descriptive blurb on he back. I say that for those who think we may run ads on the back.
"If she likes to read the description of the book after purchasing it, some ereading software (and, I believe, ereaders) have the option to do so."
Any pointers, please?
And, yes, I use the Goodreads and Amazon blurbs - but have yet to find a way to port and link them to the books I uy.
Tony
