Do you read paperbacks, eBooks or hardbound books?
Right now my hardbound edition is in the works. Does it seem backwards ◀️ to have the paperback come out first?
For decades, publishers would first produce hardbound editions because that’s how it was always done. There was an incentive, too: Hardbacks generate more income & publishers could more quickly recover the author’s “advance” ✍️ + money spent on printing, marketing, shipping & distribution.
Paperbacks would be released a year later & give books a second life as a cheaper & more portable option. EBooks are even more portable. Despite the notion that printed books are dead, Pew Research revealed 37% of readers only read printed books; 28% read print+digital; & 27% read no books at all. (1% didn’t know!)
Hardbound books feel more substantial. I’m a collector of hardback books & felt #BloggingOnInstagram wouldn’t be real until it came out with a hard cover & dustjacket.
Doing the sequence backward has been a blessing. Shortly after my book went into production Instagram announced platform changes that drove me bonkers. There is no way a book on a technology-topic ⌨️ can be completely current unless it exists only as an eBook. By doing the hardback second, I have an opportunity to insert an extra chapter—The Afterword.
In the Afterword, I address some of the developments that happened since publishing. And even though things will keep changing, I feel better being able to mention some of them. Also, I misspelled someone’s name & this edition has given me a chance to fix it. If you opt for the hardbound edition, you’ll read about some of the changes.
Would you like to have a personal assistant? ♀️ Sometimes I feel like I need one. Thanks to @soniabublaitis, I met @rodjonesartist @thoughtrowpodcast who is helping me reach more people.
Thank you again for inspiring me to write my book. And happy birthday @queenhorsfall

Is technology accessible to most people?
Last week I went into our neighborhood Walgreens drugstore. It looked like it had been ransacked. I asked the security guard why there were so many empty shelves, ♂️and he told me it was futile to restock because so many customers have “sticky fingers.” The toothpastes were in a locked glass cabinet, as if they were aged single malt scotch!
In Seattle, if a shoplifter is caught in the act, nothing can be done until they walk out with goods in hand. ♀️Thefts under $25 are usually not prosecuted, so some shoplifters return day after day.
A few years ago, Amazon created the “AmazonGo” store. A customer gains admittance by scanning the AmazonGo app on their smart phone, which is linked to a credit card. Shoppers can go in and grab what they need, and when done, leave without a word. Miraculously, all the stuff you put into your shopping bag ️is charged automatically to your credit card as you walk out the door. It’s unnerving the first time, but I’ve found it works perfectly. It’s impersonal but efficient, ⏳and Amazon avoids dealing with “sticky fingers.”
Theft is factored into the cost of goods. A service like this could help every retailer that experiences shoplifting, but it would limit access to customers who have a smart phone, an app, and a credit card.
At @alkisurfshop, ️especially since the pandemic, it seems everyone from tweens to older baby boomers use smart phones and plastic. Limited access is already in play at stores like Costco, which requires shoppers to have a membership or a gift card.
What are your thoughts about theft both from the standpoint of the thief and the point of view of the store owner? Should technology deepen the divide between the haves and have nots?
What is the solution?
