Read any good "vooks" lately?

As an author, I am THRILLED to hear about this new form of book publishing - digital book with video. Especially as an author of books on cinema, this is an ideal format, because so often I wish I could just bring the reader directly from a page into a film clip and talk about it. Already I make movie-style "trailers" for my books. (see video below)

For the full story on Simon & Schuster's video book (or "vook") concept, see:

Sample trailer for my book, THE MODERN AMAZONS: WARRIOR WOMEN ON-SCREEN. This would be so much better if I could just have these clips jump off the pages of a "vook"

That is a great video that you put together. *big smile*

And I thought that you might be interested in this article that I found on digg.com: http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/10/planetrobo-population-will-exceed-1-million-worldwide-by-2010.html

Hope that you are doing all right, that things are going okay, and that the rest of the day goes all right for you.

Hugs. *HG*

God bless and take care. Bye, :)!
