Smashwords Interview

What do you read for pleasure?
I love reading Michael Crichton his approach to storytelling really resonates with me. I remember the "rabbit scene" from his novel Prey. Stranded scientist conducted an autopsy on a rabbit they had to watch die after being surrounded by a cloud of nano-particles. That gave me the inspiration to write a similar scene in my debut novel Reapers of the Damned. Where a group of engineers got to see the effects of the entity on a celestial arachnid.
What is your e-reading device of choice?
I love being on my Nook. I bought the device primarily because I had a Radio Shack charge card and they were giving incentives to buy the Nook from them. So I went ahead and grabbed one. I haven't regretted it. I love being able to download free samples off of the nook store. Plus I have a considerable amount of e-books in pdf form, which were stowed away on my desktop which is no fun to read on. So I was able to copy them over to the nook. Now I can curl up in bed and read those pdfs in comfort.

And just in case you think I am plugging Nook, the Kindle from Amazon was what got me interested in e-readers, in the first place. A friend from work had shown me a Gen 1. The e-ink looked incredible! Plus the great thing about Kindle is that you have Amazon supplying you with all the latest titles. Which in some cases is far superior to the selection offered by B&N. Plus they couldn't deliver a textbook if their life depended on it.

But all of this is rendered meaningless once I found out about Calibre which lets you convert Kindle titles to work on the Nook. Which is great! Plus I have e-reader apps on my smartphone so I am never away from a good book!
