Tycoon's One-Night Revenge, Browse the Book

I love cool, new stuff. I can't always work out how to use cool, new stuff. I don't always have the time or patience to work out how to use cool, new stuff but that never dampens my initial enthusiasm.

On that note and with appropriate fanfare, let me introduce you to eHarlequin's Browse the Book widgets, available for all April releases including my Tycoon's One-Night Revenge. As well as reading the first chapter, you can view the cover blurb, other books' by page, the dedication, dear reader letter (author note) and bio.

There is also a search facility, although I'm not sure how that might be useful to readers. Perhaps if it's a series and you want to see if characters from previous books make an appearance, you could search their name? (Example: in Tycoon, you can search for Alex and Zara from The Ruthless Groom.) Any other thoughts on that?

Is this something you'd use to check out more details on upcoming books?

For a Monday morning (my time) you are much too perky and cheerful. Love the fanfarre!

(Does this happen to you with cell phones? I just got a new one, and I can't find half the things I used on my old one *sigh*)

I love this idea but so far I haven't been able to get it to work

I like the widget and how we can see what's inside the book.

What a neat wee gadget a widget is, Bron. And kudos to you for figuring it all out! Having only just discovered I can download an ereader and ebooks onto my Palm, which I've had for well over a year, I have to consider myself 'slow' in the technology department. *g*

AL, I got a new phone almost 12 months ago and I STILL haven't transferred my contacts from the old SIM card. Don't even mention all the fancy doo-dads that helped me choose this particular phone and which I never use. They all looked so cool when I bought it...

Christa, I hope you can get some help from Jayne or one of the techies at eHarlequin. Because it really felt GOOD when I got mine to work!

Jane, glad you like.

Yvonne, this wasn't as hard as setting up my eBook stuff, so I have every confidence that you'll be a whizz at widgets.

I've glanced at the browse the book things, but they're unwieldy an I'm impatient - I generally go for excerpts, and my "site" most people peruse is my challenge blog - but some day, I might post one. It's a neat concept and I know a lot of people will like it.

I thought the same, about the unweildy thing and whether folks would be bothered. I'll be watching with interest to see if they catch on.
