I prefer paper books I can hold in my hand and transport easily but now and then I look at e books. One problem I have with reading e books is that I can't figure out how to bookmark my page but then even if I could do that I have a habit of reading the same book on different computers, ie my home computer and work computer so I still have to remember what I am up to.
I think e books should be supported and especially self-published authors. There are some gems out there that haven't been discovered by the mainstream publishers.
I can thoroughly recommend a self-published e-book I found at Smashwords: Options by Rosemarie D'Amico. Don't be fooled by the cheap price ($3.99) - I would have paid more. Options has all the right ingredients: murder; strong characters; intrigue; all thrown into a company specializing in take-overs. I loved the details about working in the company and Kate is a great character, full of flaws but likeable. Definitely deserves a mainstream hard cover launch (and no, I have never met the author!). Not sure about the cover though......
