Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo,
This review is from: Charlie Bone Pack, 8 books, RRP £47.92 (Blue Boa; Castle of Mirrors; Charlie Bone & Hidden King; Charlie Bone & The Red Knight; Charlie Bone:Shadow Of Badlock; Charlie Bone:Wilderness Wolf; Midnight For Charlie Bone; Time Twister). (Children of the Red King) (Paperback)
I purchased all 8 books in this series because of the good reviews. Excellent service from the Seller. Very enjoyable story about a young boy called Charlie Bone and the strange things that happen to him and his friends. I think that young readers (9 years plus) may find these stories enjoyable to read, if they have all 8 books, as the story flows from one to the other. A bit of histroy (Charlie's family past) which comes to light as Charlie continues to defies his Grandmother. Does he have magic abilites or is he just a very talented and gifted child like his friends who are very unique to what each of them can do. Team work is required, problems to resolve, fun to be had, understanding what is around you, as there is always someone who will help if they are asked. Great story line, very interesting ending. I have enjoyed these books despite being an adult. I have read The Snow Spider Trilogy by Jenny Nimmo, another enjoyable story for young readers.

This review is from: Charlie Bone Pack, 8 books, RRP £47.92 (Blue Boa; Castle of Mirrors; Charlie Bone & Hidden King; Charlie Bone & The Red Knight; Charlie Bone:Shadow Of Badlock; Charlie Bone:Wilderness Wolf; Midnight For Charlie Bone; Time Twister). (Children of the Red King) (Paperback)
I bought this book set on the recommendation of a friend with a 12year old son, for my 11year old sons birthday present needing to find story lines that would grip him and encourage him to read more. They've certainly done that and then some. I've not seen him without his nose in one of them since his birthday, as he steams through the series. I much prefer a little book worm to a TV addict! Good ole Charlie Bone.
A fantastic collection, By

We bought the first Charlie Bone book separately for my 7 year old son who had just finished the Percy Jackson series. We thought it would appeal to him. He loved it and had finished it within a few days so we purchased the whole set (great value considering an individual book was £6.99). He is still hooked and our 9 year old daughter has just got the 'Charlie Bone' bug!

| Popular authors increase output, some doubling to two books a year, to meet insatiable ebook demand |
|
Pity the poor authors in the days of the ebook. Whereas popular authors such as Lisa Scottoline used to produce one book a year, now they are writing two; while others such as Lee Child are churning out short stories in between novels in an attempt to satisfy their fans' demands for more output, lest the fans get bored waiting for the next work and go off and find a new favorite. Meanwhile, James Patterson is producing a dozen or more books each year, about half of which are co-written.
All this at the same time as the internet has changed readers' expectations that they'll be able to hear personally from their favorite authors via blogs, Twitter and Facebook updates. Would reclusive authors such as J.D. Salinger and Harper Lee be able to gain traction in today's market? Many publishers say no - that what once would have created an aura of intrigue around an author, is not a viable option in the age of interconnectivity. |

| Pushing back against 'Showrooming', Target will no longer stock Kindles |
|
Target plans to stop selling Amazon Kindle e-readers and tablets, and has already removed the products from its website.
"This is evidence that Target is getting more serious about Amazon as an enemy rather than a partner," said analyst Matt Nemer of Wells Fargo. "That's probably something Target now regrets. It put them behind in the world of multi-channel retail and let a serious competitor learn a lot about their business." The New York Times reported that as retailers like Target address the challenge of "showrooming," carrying Amazon's Kindle is, as Michael Norris of Simba Information put it, "like Starbucks selling Dunkin' Donuts gift certificates." Showrooming is the term used to describe a shopper who visits a store to check out a product but then purchases the product online from a different retailer - booksellers report that they often see customers buying online while still standing in their store holding the book they are purchasing elsewhere! |

| Tor publisher announces all ebooks will be DRM free by July - enabling books to be transferred between devices |
|
Tom Doherty Associates - comprising the Tor, Forge, Orb, Starscape, and Tor Teen imprints - has announced that their entire list of ebooks will be available DRM-free "by early July." In a separate, following notice, Tor UK said that it will do the same. Digital rights management (DRM) is the term used to describe any technology that limits the use of digital content on devices after sale.
President and publisher Tom Doherty writes: "Our authors and readers have been asking for this for a long time. They're a technically sophisticated bunch, and DRM is a constant annoyance to them. It prevents them from using legitimately-purchased e-books in perfectly legal ways, like moving them from one kind of e-reader to another." The company says that as part of the move, they "expect to begin selling titles through retailers that sell only DRM-free books." Forsaking DRM, and/or experimenting with "lighter" DRM schemes that allow more customer freedom, has been under discussion at a number of houses recently, intensified in the wake of the agency pricing lawsuits and settlements. Tor/Forge are the first "Big Six" imprints to make this move, though Pottermore's recent release of DRM-free Harry Potter ebooks (watermarked in some versions; still encrypted if purchased for the Kindle or Nook platforms) remains the most prominent. The Tor move raises the likelihood that other big publishers will head in the same direction, and also increases the chance that they may do so by division or imprint rather than companywide. |

| 'Three Cups of Tea' author, Greg Mortenson, and publisher seek dismissal of class action suit |
|
At a federal court hearing this week, author Greg Mortenson and his publisher sought dismissal of a lawsuit that "aims to obtain class-action relief for book-buyers allegedly defrauded by purported fabrications" in Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools.
According to the NY Times, the class-action case "is potentially crucial for book publishers, the defendants argue, because if it succeeds - which is by no means certain - it could mean that publishers would be liable to defend lawsuits and reimburse readers every time a memoir turned out to have an inflated recollection of events." Attorneys for Penguin Group, which published Three Cups of Tea in 2006, contended that "if a publisher were required to guarantee or ensure the truth and accuracy of everything an author says, the costs of publishing books would be prohibitive." |

| Apple wants to go to trial to defend itself against price-fixing allegations |
|
Apple wants to go to trial to defend itself against U.S. government allegations of colluding with publishers to fix e-book prices, Apple lawyer Daniel Floyd told U.S. District Judge Denise Cote yesterday. Reuters reported that publishers Macmillan and Penguin "took a similar stance in the first hearing in Manhattan federal court since the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice last week accused Apple and five publishers of colluding to break up Amazon.com's low-cost dominance of the digital book market."
