I made a few book trailers for my books awhile back. I had fun and enjoyed finding the right photos and transitions and music. I found an article that discusses exactly how I did it. Anyone else out there that wants to save a few bucks, be sure to check out the following article:

I got a Palm Treo on ebay about 6 months ago, and I mostly love it. It does have its drawbacks, but I only paid $60 for it so won’t complain. It has more pros than cons, so that’s helpful. One of the neatest things is that it has a touch screen. I play spades on it whenever I’m waiting for something or in line. Keeps my lack of patience in check. LOL…I recently discovered something else I can do on it. READ! Yes, I can actually read an ebook on my phone. I thought that was only possible on expensive phones like the iPhone. Since I put all my books on Amazon and MobiPocket, I discovered that I could download a .prc file from mobipocket.com which enables me to read that version of book on my phone. I tested it out the other day and then scoured the internet for free mobi files to download. I have three on my phone right now, so the next time I’m in line I can read a few pages. The font is really clear and large enough so I don’t have to squint. My phone has impressed me again!
