But this was not that day. He needed to eat a large bowl of the anemic stuff, and drink every drop of broth, to prevent his stomach from growling during the reaping ceremony. That at eighteen, the heir to the once-great house of Snow had nothing to live on but his wits. His shirt for the reaping was worrying him. He had an acceptable pair of dark dress pants bought on the black market last year, but the shirt was what people looked at.
Fortunately, the Academy provided the uniforms it required for daily use. Tigris had said to trust her, and he did. Too damaged to sell in even the worst of times, and this was to be his reaping shirt? This morning he had gone to her room at daybreak, only to find both his cousin and the shirt missing. Not a good sign. Had Tigris given up on the old thing and braved the black market in some last-ditch effort to find him proper clothing?
And what on earth would she possess worth trading for it? Only one thing—herself—and the house of Snow had not yet fallen that far. Or was it falling now as he salted the cabbage?

However, none of this is to say that digital publishing is the enemy of physical book publishing. At Forum Books in Corbridge, Northumberland, founder Helen Stanton has recently collaborated on a Silent Book Disco at the Biscuit Factory art gallery in Newcastle, where visitors could wander around and look at books rather than works of art while listening to an appropriate playlist. We are really trying to connect readers with the author, to bring the book to life.
Maybe, she says, customers could wander around the bookshop and hear poems at certain places on National Poetry Day. Audio is becoming something of a new battleground in publishing, where audio publishers want to see books on submission at the same time as physical publishers, while physical publishers have become disinclined to acquire books without audio rights.
One recent title, for instance, had little interest in its forthcoming print publication, so the publisher released it as an ebook for 99p. It began to sell, to be noticed and get reviewed. At which point the publisher went to the supermarkets that had previously spurned it and they took it up.
The figures from the Publishing Association should be treated with some caution. They exclude self-published books, a sizable market for ebooks. Even in the years when ebook sales were rising greatly — and clearly cannibalising physical book sales — it was always very clear that we would have a correction and reach an equilibrium.
The last thing he — or any seller or publisher of physical books — wants is the death of the ebook. He knows that people who read, sooner or later, will buy books. How eBooks lost their shine: 'Kindles now look clunky and unhip'. Books as objects of desire: photographs by Jennifer Cownie. As we discussed earlier, if you only have literature and novels as textbooks, then you can definitely make do with a Kindle. The Kindle Oasis was made to kick ass and chew bubblegum when it comes to e-reading.
Unlike the iPads and the Amazon Fire, every aspect of the Kindle Oasis was developed to make reading as easy as possible. If your college classes include novels, journals, and literature, then the Oasis is perfect for you. However, being an e-reader, the Oasis is only a solid option for the front-to-back style textbook.
If your course includes textbooks that include a lot of images, graphs, and tables, then you may need to look elsewhere. Instead, you should look to buy a tablet. Here at BookSummaryClub I summarize my favorite non-fiction books into easily digested posts.
