I split this out from an existing blog thread. I think it will be fun and useful to have a conversation around book blogs and what we like about them and all that.  So what ones do you use? And what do you like about them? Please remember, this is about book blogs other than your own .... |

I subscribe to I Love My Kindle on my Kindle. (On the web: http://ilmk.wordpress.com/) The guy has some good insights into things. Style is very conversational and, as might be expected, he focuses on Kindle related issues. . . .so not exclusively books, but he does review books from time to time. |

"Swipe Me"?
Guess I don't know what that means. . . .I basically read it on Kindle, though, and only go to the website if there's a poll or something I want to participate in or see how the results are coming.

The first time I went to ilmk.wordpress.com, there was a splash page that says "Swipe me" before I get to the actual blog. It happens a lot on wordpress blogs... At any rate, KindleBoards is the only book site I need.  Betsy |

Huh. I've never seen that. But then, as I say, I only read it on Kindle and in the infrequent case where I go to the actual web site it's via my one of my non-tablet computers.

I didn't see it when I went back...but I see it on a lot of blogs when I visit. Can't say whether it's only a tablet thing...it may be as I'm on the iPad 90% of the time.  Betsy |
