Your Own Personal Bookshelf (This Is New). If you've ever downloaded a book via Bookfunnel, including author giveaways, and any Book Promos or sales, it may have stymied you in the past when you tried to go back and get another copy. This is especially irksome if you've actually bought the book, and have to
Some Pretty Big Changes Coming Up Several weeks ago, I sent this to my reader's list: Among the writing community I have a bit of a reputation for championing "wide" publishing. Let me explain that.

Do You Deep Freeze Your Books? Do you remember in Season Three of Friends, when Rachel discovered Joey's copy of The Shining in the freezer? Joey put his books in the freezer because he found them too scary to read. I always smile because he ended up putting Little Women in the freezer, because he could tell
