wynddancerLOL. I feel so sorry for this skier--it would piss me off to have these pictures on the Internet and to have this happen to me. But it's funny as hell too! :-P Evidently, the ski chair didn't open correctly and it dragged his pants down exposing him to everyone around him while he's hanging upside down!!! Yikes! Many people took pics of his naked butt!!!!! LOL!!!!
I haven't really played with this yet (downloaded it basically) but I'm going to. It's a free download of a word processing program for writers. yWriter is by a professional author who also writes programs. I've not read his books yet but I plan on giving them a try (he has free ebooks available) (more info quick start guide here ). If you have a Mac (not me--the few times I've tried one I've gotten so frustrated), then Scrivener might be up your alley (I must admit program envy--I like the sound/description of this program--wish they had a Windows version).
Ebooks. I have figured out the appeal--much easier to store and move. ^^;; Just move your computer and sort into folders. I need to finish sorting all of my physical books and let go of some. I've done a little of it but not much--I have hundreds of physical books to go through. I'm moving (I hope) soon and sorting, boxing, etc. the books is time-consuming and unappealing. I wanna keep all of them! I have no room to keep all of them and the book boxes are heavy. Wah.
One of the things about ebooks that bothers me is the price. Why do I have to pay the retail price of a physical book for an ebook that I would download and read on the computer? The manufacturer doesn't actually have to print them and distribute them to bookstores or accept book returns on the title. In other words, they're not printing copies that are sent back to the publishers for destruction and they are not out of money or have a loss on those physical books that are destroyed.
If you like ebooks, Fictionwise has free ebooks available and something called micropay--buy select titles and it gives you a rebate on a portion of the price (up to 100%) to your account so that you can apply the rebate to other purchases. Hmm. I'm not sure I like the website though or their policies. Also, if you have trouble with your book download, you may be out of luck.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kaigou had trouble with them and their customer service. Have not dealt with them myself.
Loose Id is an ebook publisher. It looks to be like Ellora's Cave and Torquere Books--all 3 are erotic(a) ebook publishers. If you're into reading these books, I understand the appeal of ebooks--easier to hide from prying eyes than physical books. ;-)
