eReaders & eBooks
We have been busy investigating and testing eReaders and trying to understand all the jargon and information that is out there. There is so much that I am sure even the most technical computer user would be swamped, so we have attempted to make it more manageable and put in our actual experiences to help you navigate this new world.
Check out our information at http://www.ourbookclub.net.au/ebooks.php.
Remember if you have any questions or comments you can contact us at http://www.ourbookclub.net.au/contact.php or join our www.ourbookclub.net.au Facebook page.

A new our favourite: Lionel Shriver
In addition to Stieg Larsson and Janet Evanovich we have added Lionel Shriver to the our favourites section. Lionel Shriver has written a great selection of books that highlight the main issues of our time - from population control, to high school massacres and most recently the American health care system (if you can call it that).
Check out http://www.ourbookclub.net.au/Lionel%20Shriver.php for more information.
