Times New Roman Font History - Although Times New Roman font is common, Arial is recommended since it is sans serif. The cleaner Arial is easier to read, especially for those over 50 or with eye issues.

Make it easy for your book to be a Book Club Selection. Offer to Skype/Hangout with a book club to be part of the discussion. It's a way to create some fans and get feedback. They may also want you to come speak or do a book signing in their area. #BookClub #WritingTips #SpeakingTips #NerimanPublishing
The good part of technology is when it can improve our experiences. This software may improve your reading speed and comprehension.
http://elitedaily.com/news/technology/this-insane-new-app-will-allow-you-to-read-novels-in-under-90-minutes/  As we move towards eReaders, many of us still have traditional books. Some are out of print. There is a way to digitize them yourself. Two things come to mind: It may be a more efficient use of your time to pay for the digital version and digitizing and making a book available that is still under copyright to others is stealing income from the author and publisher. Digitizing for personal use from one format to another is much like ripping old vinyl records you own to MP3 format. Also, if you do digitize, keep in mind charities are often selling the printed books to raise funds and some artists are using them for wonderful art projects. Please do not just discard them in the trash. Please recycle responsibly.
