Wouldn't work on my Kindle because I have the one "with ads" and I'm sure Amazon would never give that up for any reason...but who knows? Might work on other readers.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-49613989614229957122014-11-20T15:09:38.206-06:002014-11-20T15:09:38.206-06:00I'm thinking it wouldn't be all that repet...I'm thinking it wouldn't be all that repetitive, Trav, because it would be little more than the number of times you see the cover of a real book.

It'd be like you "closed" your book. Barring that, Pelican has a good idea with what they are doing.Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-49023550107434481032014-11-20T09:14:05.820-06:002014-11-20T09:14:05.820-06:00I'm anxious to try one of their books.

Especially if the only reason they are placing it in there is because the Marketing Dept. told them to, to help reinforce the brand.<br /><br />But the more I think about it (and after reading your post), it might actually work to serve the book as a whole.
