			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.juliaslaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Amazon_Icon.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-173" title="Amazon_Icon" src="http://www.juliaslaughter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Amazon_Icon.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> I don&#8217;t think that I will jump on the eReader bandwagon. I like the way books feel in my hand, I like the way they smell. I like tucking one into my purse or my pocket and knowing that if it disappears or gets damaged I&#8217;m out no more than about $20.00. I like the way fonts can set the tone for a book. Besides, I look at a computer screen all day, I just like books. However, I like the Amazon Kindle app for one reason &#8211; the preview. Sometimes the blurb on the back of the book just isn&#8217;t really enough, sometimes you thumb a few pages in and poke around, and this app gives you the opportunity to do that.</p>
<p>I thought I read somewhere that the Kindle gives you the first chapter but I think it&#8217;s based on a page limit, since the first time I used it was when I was checking out Cherie Priests&#8217; Boneshaker and the early chapters are kind of short. I read the whole sample on the Kindle app and then I knew that I had to have it so I ordered it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s straightforward and easy to use and for some people I imagine it will be like a gateway drug, giving them a taste that will leave them wanting to make the leap to eReader. Of course not me, not yet, I still prefer the feel of a book in my hands.</p>
