| | | When I visited my family in Houston last month, I found that my soon to be 75-year-old mother was the only one in her social circle who had not yet purchased a Kindle. While there, I attended a book club that had been reading my novel Dirt Cheap. The women in the book club, who ranged in age from 50 to 80, all owned Kindles and had already loaded them with multiple books. On my return to New York City, I stopped off at a Spanish-language short-story discussion group at McNally & Jackson, and one of the members of the group had loaded his story onto his iPhone. I asked to try out the iPhone and promptly deleted the story. Oops.
