Whether you read a physically hardcopy book or use an E-reader comes down to personal preference. I have a friend who prefers to have the physical book in her hands, to turn the pages manually and have that book grace the bookshelf for years to come and re-reading at a later date.
I used to feel the same way but over time, my bookshelves housed thousands of books and space was an issue, travelling on public transport to the city every day meant a book took up room in my handbag and before long, the book was very dog-eared to look at. I tend to be one of those people who lose bookmarks so have to turn the page edge over.
When I discovered Kindle through my iPad, it was such a breath of fresh air. I could have all my books present on the one device, my own little digital library. When I had finished reading one book, it was simple to purchase another without having to attend a book store or wait for a delivery. I could read at night without needing to switch on a bedside lamp. I could even change the font to be larger or smaller if so desired.
Of course, that was before I discovered Audible.

"I am from Australia and consider myself a story-teller. My primary writing goal is to entertain you, to keep you turning those pages not anticipating what will come next, not to mention - the story must involve something a little morbid or downright weird. If you found the stories easy to read, fast-paced, interesting, enjoyable and little bit quirky then my work is done."
