Well, This is Interesting

The Plot Twist: E-Book Sales Slip, and Print Is Far From Dead

 
 
From a New York Times article ...
 
" ... those double- and triple-digit growth rates plummeted as e-reading devices fell out of fashion with consumers, replaced by smartphones and tablets. Some 12 million e-readers were sold last year, a steep drop from the nearly 20 million sold in 2011, according to Forrester Research. The portion of people who read books primarily on e-readers fell to 32 percent in the first quarter of 2015, from 50 percent in 2012, a Nielsen survey showed.
 
Higher e-book prices may also be driving readers back to paper."

No Place to Run (Curley Large Print Book... No Place to Run (Curley Large Print Books) - Jane Donnelly Rating: 3.5I think this is a book which lovers of non-quick-read stories will like. It was quite realistic but turned a tiny bit hectic at the end. The H/h barely got any scenes together and most of the time was spent on the things heroine did with the OM (Other man) to whom she's engaged. Still for those who wonder how some people can make a mistake marrying someone not suitable to them, this book will show how sometimes there are factors other than just 'love' (such as peer pressure, status, ego etc...) which need to be considered in such decisions and for that alone I gave it this rating.
