As most of you know (I hope) I have published the Kindle edition of Rolling Back: Through a Life Disabled. (You can see the Amazon listing by clicking on the link at the bottom of this post.) I had assumed that most people were now reading books electronically. However I quickly learned that many of you prefer to read books that you can hold in your hands, turn the pages, etc.
I remember those days. Unfortunately I’m no longer able to do that. But the good news is that there now are so many options available for reading on a screen. I am too weak to even hold a Kindle so I use the Kindle Reader on my computer. I have also recently signed up for a wonderful service through the local library called BookShare. It is for people like me who are not capable of holding a book. It is also for the blind. Once you have established your disability and have been accepted into the program, you can scroll through all of the books that a regular library might hold and select ones you want to read. They’re delivered instantly to your computer where you can either read them on the screen, or listen to them. I am very grateful that this program exists.
Once the paperback is available you will notice its price is more than double that of the Kindle version. ($6.99 for the paperback versus $2.99 for Kindle.) This simply reflects the printing costs involved in producing a 134 page book with a full-color cover. If you’re curious, my royalty is greater for the Kindle version. I have received some kind reviews about my book. Thank you!
