Ebooks

First an announcement for anyone who is interested. I am in the process of polishing off the second draft of my new Twitter related ebook. (Title has yet to be determined)

I know, i know… there are a ton of them out there, but instead of regurgitating the same old crap as everyone else, I wanted to take a little different approach and hit on some of the more unconventional topics in relation to Twitter, social networking, marketing and sales.

I think people will really like it, and my hope is that it will be a valuable resource on the subject. Might shock some people, might piss a few people off too, we’ll see… sounds good huh?

Anyway, before it’s all wrapped up and spell checked to death and I spend way too much time obsessing on the cover design and promo material, etc I wanted to take a little time and ask your opinion:

What Would You like To See in A Marketing Related Twitter Book?

  • Are there any topics that just haven’t been covered in other products?
  • Are there any burning questions you want answered?
  • Anything new and exciting that you think should addressed that hasn’t yet?
  • Any skills, solutions, systems, processes, methods you would like to see addressed or defined in more detail?
  • Do we need another Twitter book?

My goal with this is to not only write the kind of book on the topic I personally would like to see, but others as well. so your input is really valuable to me. So please feel free to comment or shoot me an email at:

I would love to hear your thoughts and get your input.

kindleMy wife bought me an Amazon Kindle (Amazon affiliate link) ebook reader for my 40th Birthday and I spent the last week getting used to it, so I decided to share a few thoughts.

Reasons

My main reason for wanting a Kindle is due to the fact that I live in Germany and being a huge non fiction reader, and since the English sections in the book stores here are small and mostly just filled with the latest best seller, crap fiction, I am pretty much always starved for decent non fiction (in English) beyond the internet.

Since the Kindle global wireless version offers immediate, free mobile access to the entire English based Amazon Store (anywhere in the world) pretty much anything I want in kindle format (books, magazines, newspapers) are usually one click and 30seconds away (depending on my wireless connection quality)

Another reason I wanted a Kindle is because (as anyone involved in internet marketing would attest to) you end up reading a ton of ebooks and pdf’s.  If you ever tried to spend the evening reading one on your glowing laptop screen, after about 20 pages, your eyes are burnt.  My wife and I also like to read in bed and the thought of nestling up next to my glowing hot laptop for a good read before slipping off to sleep is not so comfortable.

Since the Kindle is thin, lightweight and has that fancy digital ink screen, reading is much easier on the eyes and hands. [click to continue…]
