One of the best kept secrets of iTunes Music Store is that there is actually a very large area of Audiobooks. Recently chatting with a group on electronic books there was some confusion that a eBook is more about a Text Electronic book. Some have images and moving bits (hey, it’s electronic, let’s use the power we have over a printed book!), but it is all about viewing. While an audio book is all about listening without having to view. An iPod or iPhone/Touch are great ways to ‘listen’ to your book. Take a look at Apple’s offerings, you might just find that some things are easier to enjoy as Audio rather than Print – there is a whole area for Audiobooks:

Know others that might enjoy ‘listening’? I actually buy a lot of audio versions of books for my mom. As she has gotten along in years she likes not having to focus on a screen for a long period of time:

This is the second group of eBooks I have found over the last month on Photo Techniques. Al has built up a library of information on how to get the maximum out of a 2 megapixel digital camera we all have on our cell phones to the maximum big number megapixel dedicated camera. It’s all about thinking for a second before you take the picture, and then knowing what to do with a digital image to make it perfect rather than just throwing away a image that doesn’t ‘look’ perfect.

Finally a eBook on effective usage of coupons that isn’t more expensive than a month of groceries! I was very excited to have found “101 coupon tips” in eBook form. It covers everything my family had been wondering about: Getting Started, Where to Find Coupons, Organizing Coupons, Expiring Coupons, Using Your Coupons Wisely and When NOT to Use Coupons!

We have been seeing advisors on the morning news shows talk about getting the most out of coupons and how much they keep saving. Yet, they never say more than you should watch and clip. Not exactly helpful. So, when this offering came up it was a easy decision that we needed this type of help. In the package, the author also throws in a bunch of Recipe Ebooks that help stretch the dinner dollars that much further. Take a look at “101 Coupon Tips” here.

Everyone has a restaurant that they enjoy a particular dish at. How do they make that dish? What is their recipe? Is there really a secret ingredients or is that just a bunch of marketing fluff?

Around the office I hear coworkers talking about how they made dinner and it tasted just like… does it really or do they just want to believe it? Did they come up with it on their own or did they find the recipe posted up online by a disgruntled employee?

Looking around the internet, I found a couple of these recipes… one recipe only took me a couple days. I have started to question the amount of time I spend finding these. Then, last week I found a single source of many restaurant’s recipes… I found my favorite, is yours listed here…

To kick off our Scrapbooking eBook week, we start off with a much needed manual.

If you have a Cricut scrapbook cutting machine (looks like a printer, on late night TV all the time) you either love it or hate it. I love mine but it isn’t because mine is any better than anyone else’s. It is because I went out and found someone else who knew how to use the software, “The Cricut Design Studio”, that you load to run the Cricut cutter. The manufacture didn’t include much of a manual and I was just burning up time trying to figure it out.

These folks have a eBook manual and videos to help you get the maximum bang out of your Cricut Scrapbooking machine. Jump to the long description here…
