New Server – New Look – eBookWeek is Coming

Posted by Trevas On January - 22 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

We’ll it’s that time of year again. EBook week is on it’s way. With that we’ve decided to give our site a major upgrade. Last year we had over 2000 downloads in just a matter of a few days, and it almost broke our site. We’ll this year we’re coming in prepared.

We’ve moved the site to a much larger/faster VPS (bigger server = faster site, for those who’re less tech-savvy), our  site has a new look, but for the moment that creates a minor problem. Please bear with us as we get the site working properly again.

At the moment, some links just aren’t linking, some ads just aren’t ading (is that even a word), our new poll system isn’t yet polling – and in general our site feels a little broken :(

Not to worry though – we’re on it, we’re working to fix it, and when we’re done – this year’s eBook week events at eBookGuru.org promise to be the biggest ever!

Cheers,

Amazon Kindle Review – My Kindle Review for 2010

Posted by Trevas On January - 19 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

I’m sure we already have a kindle review onsite. In fact, I know we do, it was posted by Don Shey last year. Well, it’s 2010 and it’s time for a new Kindle review. This time it will be by yours truly, and I will be reviewing the kindle based on my experiences after receiving this excellent eBook reader as an early Christmas gift.

With the Kindle’s wireless network now available in Canada, I’ve found that the Kindle is now my main reading device, and I felt the need to tell the world why. For those who don’t know what the kindle is, it’s Amazons vision of what an eBook reader should be, and after using one for about a month I think I agree with them.

My Review of the Amazon Kindle

Okay, so here it goes. You get this new shiny box in the mail, it’s from Amazon, and what do you know it’s a new kindle. At first glance this eBook reader may not seem like anything special, but I assure you once you start using it, you’ll soon find that it is.

There are a few features that I really like about the kindle, so here’s the list:

  1. Simple to use and with the wireless access buying books is a cinch.
  2. Read-out-loud feature allows me to stay with the action even when I’m doing something else.
  3. I can read all night (for 4 – 5 days in a row) without killing the battery. To accomplish this I do turn the wireless off (wireless access is a battery killer).
  4. The big page turning buttons make it simple to read with.
  5. It actually learns what you enjoy reading, makes book recommendations based upon that, and so far the recommendations have been good ones.
  6. Amazon’s pre-order feature allows me to order books by my favourite authors when I find out they are being released, and they automatically download to my kindle on the release date.

I could actually keep going with this list. But the things I like most about the Kindle are it’s book recommendation features (this is probably done by Amazons’ website) and it’s convenience. I can decide I want to read a book, buy it right on the Kindle, and then 2 minutes later be sitting in my lazy boy enjoying the book.
A couple of recommendations I do have for those who decide to invest in a kindle: Get a clip on light to make it easy to read in the dark, and be sure to get a case for it. The protective case is an excellent tool when you accidentally drop it (and yes I did this). Other than that I would recommend the Kindle to anyone who enjoys reading.
Another thing you’ll find great about the Kindle is the huge number of books available for it. I’ve owned the device for just over a month, and my book list is already up to about 20. I’ve read books like Under the Dome by Stephen King, Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyers, and By Reason of Insanity by Randy Singer.

My recommendation is that anyone looking for a reading device should put the kindle at the top of their list.

Review: ‘The Gates of Hell’ by Caroline Addenbrooke

Posted by AJ Best On December - 13 - 20091 COMMENT

The Gates of Hell” by Caroline Addenbrooke

Africa. Just the word instills a feeling of adventure and danger. To Rui Perreira, Africa means the fullfillment for a dream of gold and glory and the chance for a life with the beautiful Catalina, his childhood sweetheart. For Dela Eden, it means home and a way of life. A chance meeting between these two very different people sets in motion a chain of events that are both wonderful and horrifying at the same time. These events change everything for Dela Eden and Rui, making them both realize that sometimes one must give up the things believed most precious to gain something more.

At first glance, this book looks to be a historial adventure full of strange and exotic places with danger lurking in every page. However, once the reader begins their journey, they will start to see incredible details into a lost world. This story has elements of intrigue into old world politics and social standards with a dash of romance. I very much enjoyed this story and feel that I will continue to find some new detail with additional readings.

Review: Talk Dirty to Topaz by Amber Skyze

Talk Dirty to Topaz

Author: Amber Skyze
Artist: Tuesday Dube
ISBN: 978-1-60168-230-7
Genre: Contemporary
Publisher: Aspen Mountain Press
Publication Date: 07/31/09
Sexual Content: Erotic

Twice bitten by people she trusted, Teagan Topaz has shelfed both the friendship and love life to focus on her interior design business. Although her best friend tried to warn her that the man she was about to marry was no good, the way it was proven left something to be desired. Then one day, she starts receiving mysterious phone calls from a deep-voiced stranger who fills her head with visions of secret desires and naughty sex.

Frank Black sees a picture of Teagan and is taken with her beauty. He decides that he’ll meet her no matter the cost and schedules an appointment for a room design. When Teagan meets Frank on a stormy winter afternoon, there’s an immediate attraction. As Teagan slowly begans to lose her resolve to the possibilities of a hot encounter with Frank, sizzling sex keeps them both hot as the snow flies outside.

This was a fun and sexy story. The fantasy of meeting someone that just pushes all the right buttons is something all women think about at one point in their life. While reading this story, it was fun to put myself in Teagan’s place and wonder what it would be like to lose one’s inhibitions to a total stranger and to genuinely enjoy oneself with no thought of what might happen afterwards. Definitely worth the thought!

Bedroom Furniture and More

Posted by Trevas On November - 8 - 20092 COMMENTS

So I was sitting here looking for bedroom furniture and I decided to make a post here at the same time.

When I research this type of stuff I always tend to look online, for a couple of reasons. First living in a rural area I can’t find anything close to home, and second the selection is always better when I shop online. At any rate I found a great site with exactly the bedroom set I wanted, but unfortunately the site is in Ireland.

It isn’t that I would have any problems ordering from a site in Ireland, but I imagine the shipping from there to Canada would be horrendous. So, if any of our readers from Ireland is making the trip to Canada (for the Olympics maybe), if you can figure out how to fit some bedroom furniture in your luggage let me know.

What does bedroom furniture have to do with eBooks?

Well nothing really, but as I was sitting here browsing for a wooden bedroom set, I realized that for the first time in close to four months I had sat at the PC and I didn’t have 2 dozen writing projects to complete. In other words, I actually have time. So, WOW!

With extra time on my hands – one thing I’ve been neglecting is this site. In March we managed to sign up close to 2000 people for eBook week, and at that time I was posting eBook reviews on a regular basis.

Being entirely too busy over the past couple of months though, I haven’t been available enough to make any decent updates. Of course I’ve been reading, and I’ve likely read 2 dozens great eBooks in the past couple of months, but with a lack of time I haven’t share those views with you.

At any rate, it’s obviously time to get some updates on this site.

Expect some great eBook reviews to come over the next few weeks. I realize there haven’t been enough updates here, and oddly enough all it took me to realize I actually had time to keep up again was a little time looking for bedroom furniture (my mind works in weird ways, I know).

Oh yes, and for our Irish readers – if you think you can fit an entire bedroom set on the boat/plane ride over, I’d be eternally grateful. I can’t find the same furniture here (apparently living in rural Canada has its downside). If you don’t think the airline will allow you to ship a wooden bed as a piece of luggage – that’s okay too – just be sure to come back for some great eBook reviews.

Cheers,

Trevas

When it comes to alternative energy solutions, many people may not realize that the simplest way to take advantage of them is to do-it-yourself. Guides like Green Power Easy, which I am about to review, make it simple to convert to solar or wind power at a cost that anyone could afford.

To purchase a complete alternative energy solution for your home may cost $15,000 to $20,000. By choosing to do it yourself you can convert your entire home for pennies in comparison.

Being somewhat involved in the non-fiction eBook industry, I’ve had the chance to read alternative energy guides like Earth 4 Energy or Power 4 Home. After reading those eBooks though, and then getting the chance to review Peter and Jen Lowe’s Green Power Easy, I must say that this new guide is better by far than the others.

Green Power Easy walks you through the steps it takes to convert your home to solar or wind power. It includes instructions on how to build solar panels, how to build wind turbines, and most importantly it’s the only guide I’ve ever come across that can teach you how to perform a whole-home conversion.

The eBook itself is 137 pages and walks you step-by-step through every aspect of alternative energy the DIY Way. With this guide you’ll get well-written instruction to alternative energy, and you’ll also get professionally designed illustrations that show you what you need to accomplish with each step.

The eBook package also comes with some bonus items. It includes:

  1. Green Power Easy – The EASY DIY Guide to Solar and Wind Power
  2. Green Power Easy Implementation Guide – Walks you through the steps you need to take to convert your entire home.
  3. Green Power Easy Parts Guide – Where to source the part to perform your alternative energy conversion for as little cost as possible.
  4. Green Power Easy Rebates Guide – Learn how to get government rebates to reduce the cost of your green energy solution by as much as 75%.
  5. Supplementary Videos – Easy to follow video instruction to build upon what the eBooks cover.
  6. Optional Green Power Easy TV Series – A monthly video series that includes further instruction, and completely new DIY ideas from the industry.
With the bonuses that come with the guide, and the exclusive Green Power Easy TV Series, this particular alternative energy guide definitely takes first place in this market.
At the time that I’m writing this, the Green Power Easy series of guides isn’t yet available. I actually became involved in the project when Peter and Jen asked me to help them build their site. After reading the eBooks though, I am recommending them to everyone who’s interested in green power.
They will be publicly available on October 26th, 2009, at which point you’ll be able to download your copy. At this moment Peter and Jen Lowe are giving away a Free Alternative Energy Report that tells more about the product, and that shows how simple it is to go green and save (with real case studies.
If you’re interested in what Green Energy I do suggest you take advantage of this free report, and include yourself in the early-bird special for what is expected to be the biggest alternative energy guide on the market.

Since I have become involved in this project, if you want a second opinion before you decide to choose this guide. Industry insider, John O’Ryan is also rating it as the top guide on the market. You can read his reviews of the top three guides to alternative energy with this link.

Review: Frozen Death by GL Didaleusky

Book Title: Frozen Death
Author: G.L. Didaleusky
Genre: Mystery

Reviewer: Laura

Blurb:

Something is causing people to freeze to death in Florida during
ninety-degree weather. Ancient Indian lore holds the answer to these
mysterious medical aberrations. A newly constructed Florida male prison sits
on ancient hallowed grounds called Forbidden Hill. Soon after the prison
opens, two male inmates freeze to death without exposure to frigid
temperatures. John Randall, a widowed prison doctor, meets Lena Windmaker, a
single, off-duty sheriff detective at a local library. Their initial
plutonic relationship soon kindles into a more amorous one. They hide a
personal secret that could bring them together or destroy them. They uncover
articles in local, post-Civil war newspapers describing residence succumbing
to Frozen Death. John and Lena race to discover a cause before it chooses
other victims

Review:

Frozen Death takes place in and around the Timucua State Correctional Institute. The first few chapters grab you and keep you guessing as to the reason why prisoners are dying suddenly. As the story goes on, it follows Dr. John Randall from being the prison physician, to being an investigator to an archeologist of sorts. He wears many different hats in this book and may cause the reader to wonder as to the reasoning. Throw in a beautiful Native American law enforcement officer, and the plot thickens. Overall, the story was intriguing but not riveting. The central theme held such promise but I felt a little let down that there weren’t more twists and turns throughout. The ending was unexpected, but I felt like the author rushed to include so much information in the last chapter that it made the reveal lose some of its punch.

Review: $7.95 Marketing Plan by Jim Kukral

Posted by AJ Best On August - 24 - 20091 COMMENT

Short. Sweet. Simple. Three tiny words in this complicated world that humans love to hear or read. These three tiny words are also what I use to describe www.795marketingplan.com’s ebook on how to create a memorable domain name for less than $10.

The ebook is quite easy to read and follow and being only 40 pages long helped. The pizza example on how to create a marketing plan was fun and the every day common language used to write this plan was great. It wouldn’t matter if you were young or old, an experienced entrepreneur or just a beginner, this ebook was very easy to read and follow. The use of internet links to show examples of already established domains and easy to follow exercises were a plus! The links worked even when the book was downloaded to the PC.

I would honestly recommend this ebook to anyone even considering starting their own business or just trying to get the word out about an existing one.

Review – Killerbyte by Cat Connor

Ellie Conway works during the day as an FBI agent who works on serial crime cases. At night as a hobby she runs an internet poetry chat room. Someone breaks into her home and tries to kill her and she soon realizes that it has something to do with the chat room. Things take a turn for the worse when the killer is found dead in the trunk of her car.

Ellie runs to her friend Mac who she met through the chat room. The killer almost gets her at Mac’s house so they go on the run to evade the killer while at the same time figure out who it is and catch him. The FBI is called in and as the killer starts picking off the chat room’s members one by one they realize they need to find the killer and stop him fast. Even though there are numerous crime scenes they do not have enough evidence to catch the killer much less figure out why Ellie is being targeted. The killer is clever and manages to mess with them while managing to escape right under their noses several times.

Once there are victims that were not part of the chat room the FBI, Ellie, and Mac realize something more sinister is going on. Eventually a chance remark from twelve years ago give them a clue to help them start to piece together who it is and how to stop him.

This was a great book! I really enjoyed this one and couldn’t wait to read what was happening next. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it and I didn’t want to put it down. Which unfortunately at points I had to since I was traveling and they make you turn off all electronic devices during take off and landing (I sincerely doubt leaving my Kindle on was going to make the plane crash but I was a good girl and followed the pilot’s instructions and turned it off. Darn it!) This killed me since I was dying to keep reading so I could find out who the killer was. Luckily for me taking off and landing doesn’t take that long and I was able to get back to the book and finish it. And it was worth the wait. I highly recommend this book and am going to read anything else this author has written immediately. Buy this book! You WON’T be disappointed.
