Or buy nifty gadgets to do so. Most cellphones won't allow bluetooth transfer because then they couldn't charge you anything...<br/><br/>I'm sure there is probably hackware that would enable bluetooth transfers, but I wouldn't be putting random internet downloaded code on my cellphone.

I love release day! Jennifer, I did see your book (but not mine, sadly) in the romance section of the downtown DC Borders yesterday. I took a picture with my cell phone but I have no idea how to load it off my cell phone and onto a computer.

I love the picture of your book on the front table. Put a copy of it somewhere near your computer for the next time you hit a patch of writer's block and you're dreaming of how great life would be if you worked at Home Depot :)<br/><br/>And you're so right - the new cover on Curtis Sittenfeld's book is sooooo much better.

Lunch out and taking pictures of your book in its native surroundings--sounds lovely.<br/><br/>I'm sure the time will come when you'll be all jaded and apathetic about this stuff, but I'm glad you're not there yet. It's much more fun to be excited about every new step. Congratulations on the Booklist thing, but let’s get some details now!

I can't wait to see it on the shelves (and I'll have to buy a copy so that I'll have a complete set... all 3 cover designs. LOL)<br/><br/>I spotted Deidre's book in a magazine stand in a TINY airport in Kelowna B.C. last week. Snapped a photo on my phone. Will have to remember to upload it and send it to her. Very exciting to see authors I know featured in such a tiny bookshop (not even a bookshop) in a super-small airport. 4 gates I think. Congrats on your release, Diana!

So maybe it's for the best, frustrating though it be.) Yay! Did it!
