I like books. The real ones. I like holding them in my hand and seeing the words. And books in other formats make me uneasy. Maybe it's because I have a dream of someday seeing my own stories in print. And somehow, saying to someone, "hey, you can download my story to your Kindle for $9.99" just doesn't seem as fullfilling as handing someone a real live book. Since I was convinced that an old-fashioned book is the perfect format, I was positive that I would not enjoy anything from ListenNJ.
I downloaded Anne of Green Gables and gave it an obligatory listen. And I didn't hate it. It felt like someone was telling me a story. It wasn't bad at all.
And yes, I might go back and listen to some more. For me, this is a very big step.
Now don't get me started on the Kindle...
