And I think Katie's right. If kids want them, parents are going to buy them.<br /><br />Wishing you all the best with MuseItUp!

I just don't read it as much as I should, especially since it was a gift from my husband.<br /><br />As to getting published, IF I have the opportunity to go with MuseItUp, I am certainly going to, and worry about whether the book sells..or not...later on!Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371767512022913349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-16607576669205470972011-12-01T10:14:43.715-08:002011-12-01T10:14:43.715-08:00Mom, they have ereaders aimed at toddlers these da...Mom, they have ereaders aimed at toddlers these days (V-Tech, I think they're called).

That being said, I think people are more apt to buy ebooks on the spur of the moment, because they're there and available.<br /><br />Me, I love print books. Always have, always will. However, I am (FINALLY!) becoming much more accepting of ebooks. I'm willing to give them a try.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293316104653990391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-42981600135400673162011-11-30T19:16:00.850-08:002011-11-30T19:16:00.850-08:00Katie, thanks for the good wishes. You're righ...Katie, thanks for the good wishes. You're right, I guess if the kids want ereaders, they'll get them. I keep thinking back to when my children were middle graders, and the only kids in school who didn't have their own private telephones and TVs in their rooms...according to them, that is LOL We could afford them, but we figured they just did not need them. Talk on the house phone, watch TV with the entire family, or forget it! Guess parents are more lenient today.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371767512022913349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-86404997932794900882011-11-30T17:22:21.006-08:002011-11-30T17:22:21.006-08:00Mikki, blogger has been tempermental with me too. ...Mikki, blogger has been tempermental with me too. My GFC widget says no followers one minute and then shows my followers the next. Very strange.<br /><br />As for ebooks, I do think they sell better, but I like a physical book too. I want both, but that's just me. Middle grade hasn't made that leap to ebooks yet. Do I think they will? Absolutely. So really it's just a matter of do you want your book to be in stores or not.<br /><br />Either way, I hope you get an acceptance and can decide for yourself. Keep us posted.Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-42423805743876792012011-11-30T13:00:24.787-08:002011-11-30T13:00:24.787-08:00I think that if a kid WANTS an e-reader, they will...I think that if a kid WANTS an e-reader, they will probably get one. Look at all the young kids who have cell phones, or ipods, or at the least, mp3 players.<br /><br />For this reason, I think that following your dream through e-books is not a bad move at all. I wish you lots of luck!KatieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365154373483382775noreply@blogger.com
