Enjoyed the show today, Shelagh,and am planning to get to the Library really soon. Can't read the screen for long due to light sensitivity. I look forward to tuning in to The Next Chapter every week, as it is very informative about Canada's Lit scene.

Hi Shelagh,

Really love your show, especially one that showcases Canadian crime writers. As a published mystery author, I'm really jazzed about the possibilities offered by ebooks. They're allowing me a chance to resurrect out-of-print titles and create more opportunities to find an audience, at sites like iTunes and smashwords.

Thanks for the coverage on ebooks. There have been articles moaning that the ebook reader spells the end of the book, which is ridiculous. I love my Sony Reader -- my christmas gift to myself this past winter -- and I think it's a wonderful device.

Now if only there was a simple way to create things like epub files so that people can generate their own material to share with friends, since not every reader handles all file formats.

As well, things would catch on even faster if all the companies would settle on a single format (like they have with MP3s for the most part) that would work on any reader. That way, if I buy a different reader in a few years (Rex iLiad, or a Kindle), all the books I've bought will transfer over without complaint or need to covert formats.
