I enjoyed this story and am excited to read the next one. The characters were really interesting. Certain parts I wanted to throw my kindle over but overall it was really good. I was super happy to see that Hope grew up during the story. Very interesting story

Loved it!!
It's not often I read a book and am pulled into the story. This story definitely did that for me. I originally read it on my Kindle but I've just ordered it so I can annotate and tab it. I can't wait to read it again. ?
  
Particularly enjoyed the Blanchard Secret - well written and plotted. The Mistress of Hanover Square was also an enjoyable read, but the editing/formatting of the Kindle edition was all over the shop - works strangely hyphenated to running into each other of having breaks in the middle of words - odd!

A handy way to keep track of everything that you read, and usefully connects with kindle so it updates your reading progress for you. I look forward to completing a reading challenge that I set myself on Goodreads, for the past four years I have apparently been overly ambitious :(

Book Favorite

"An enormously influential business book whose principles Amazon acted on and that facilitated the creation of the Kindle and AWS. Some companies are reluctant to embrace disruptive technology because it might alienate customers and undermine their core business, but Christensen argues that ignoring potential disruption is even costlier."

Is there a way to merge two books that are the same? Either merge them so only one copy exists in case of duplicate entry, or merge them when you have two versions like Kindle and Paperback? Just asking because I'm seeing a few come through now. 😊

Hey @Merissa! Only admins can merge items on Smashbomb at the minute, but what you can do instead is report an item for being a duplicate, and then one of the admins can merge it then!

Love this E-Reader
I have the kindle paperwhite 7th gen.

I carry this thing with me everywhere! I absolutely love this device. I enjoy being able to read it everywhere without having to worry about an internet connection, or having to contort my body to avoid screen glare. I have anywhere between 3-10 books downloaded at one time and that didn't make a large impact on its internal memory. The battery life on this is great, I usually read 1-2 hours a day and I go a week between charges, longer if I haven't used the device quite as often.

For as much as I enjoyed this device there are some shortcomings. There have been times that I have to turn the backlight off then back on again for it to work. All the menus lag when loading and while reading the pages occasionally take a moment to turn.

Overall I do recommend the kindle paperwhite or any kindle e-reader.

Outstanding!
I LOVE Audible. I use it all the time to add narraration to books I have purchased for my Kindle/ Kindle app (on my phone) for Amazon, and not just for the really popular books either. Books whose authors I have never heard of before reading often have narraration available, and they cost considerably less than, say, the Harry Potter books.

Personally, I enjoyed their membership options. They have a gold membership (3 credits a month) and a regular membership (1 credit a month); I paid about $15 a month for the basic membership. Some books will cost much more than that to purchase, so it's a steal--the Harry Potter books would have cost me between $30-$40 each if I purchased them alone. Instead I waited and got each one for that $15 membership credit. And supposedly the credits never go bad.

All in all, this is an app I intend to use and that I recommend to everyone!

Brilliant novel, slightly confusing to read on my kindle app on my phone as there was no way to distinguish between the two chapters - it took me a while to understand what was happening! But I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it - along with most other John Green books!
