Lit Bit: New eReader? Get Tracks!

 

The Kindle Fire — not eReaders in general but the Kindle Fire on its own — was  the #1 best-selling, most gifted, and most wished for product across the millions of items available on Amazon since its introduction more than 15 weeks ago. More than a million Kindles were purchased per week in December.  Add to that all of the other eReaders out there, from the Nook to the iPad, and we’re talking a lot of devices!

 

With so many eReaders sold over the holidays, just imagine how many eBooks are selling now.  Everyone’s looking for content for their new devices!

 

Look no further!  If you’re looking for a good book to load to your new eReader, get Tracks!  Tracks was designed to be easy to read both in print and electronically. What’s more, if you buy Tracks as an ebook, you can get it for about half the retail price of the printed version! 

 

It’s only $7.69 at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Tracks-ebook/dp/B005AZV8RO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1326814483&sr=1-1).

 

And only $7.99 directly from the publisher at the Atticus Online Bookstore (http://atticusbooksonline.com/online-bookstore/ebooks/tracks-a-novel-in-stories-epub).

 

While you’re at the Atticus bookstore, you’ll want to stock up on some other great titles too.

 

So add Tracks to your eReader, and enjoy the ride!
