Medium shot of a person sitting in the shady crook of a tree, reading an e-book. Caption reads:

"Use trees as they were meant to be used."

Same caption could be applied to a person sitting by a roaring fire.

Man, they really should HIRE you guys!! All the suggested ads are GREAT! Love the bookshelf ones, and love the "sitting in crook of tree" one.

desertgrandma · 12-09-2008, 03:47 PM

Now just think how many MORE e-book devices would be sold using these ads? They could hire the mobile read team for scrips.

C'mon Amazon, are you listening?? It only takes ONE ad to start the ball rolling......you can bet your sweet patootie if just one device threw an ad out there, others would follow.

You guys are great, but I just can't seem to get the picture of someone with a sweaty pit in their face out of my mind now.......dammit!

I think we should hire Diogene to write the BEBook ads...

....with hoardes of squirrels scurrying up and down the trees outside.

Oh, right.

Surreal

Extreme close up: llama head

slow pull out, revealing llama wearing particularly dapper suit, sitting in a leather chair surrounded by awards and certificates from erudite educational establishments, reading from <insert name here>-type liseuse, sipping gently with his other hand from a cut crystal glass.

<insert name here> as used by the most intelligent llamas.

(But then again, it might only make sense to MUS members).

For the outdoorsy types

Person lying on rug, enjoying the gorgeous outdoors and warm sunny weather. Shot shows the last page and the words "The End" appear on their lisuese.

Pan out, revealing person on rug in the middle of a clearing. Pan out further, and further showing them in the middle of a forest with no sign of civilisation about.

Voice over: Just finished your book? Want to read another? No problem!

Cut back to person browsing bookshop, selecting the book, it arriving and them starting to read.

(Okay, so it's more Kindle/iPhone related, but....)

I want to know which forest he's in the middle of where he's getting such good reception
