Second, Asheen is AWESOME!! He gave away a book when you were 'down with the sickness'. And I won!! WOOHOO!!!
However, I have a problem. More of a user problem. I get so excited about your books - especially this one. I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! That when I get to the questions, I enter in an answer and hit the 'ENTER' key and end up submitting, leaving one question blank. Which I'm sure knocks me out of the running. Can you devise some sort of 'idiot block' for when I get into my iBubbleFrenzy?
Anything that you could suggest would be deeply appreciated.
Again, hope the bug is gone and you are inBubbleLicious. :)
I know you provide a link through to enable direct purchases through your parent company - 800 CEOReads...
but what I don't get is why after clicking through to that page the landing page at 800ceoread is so miserly. Yes, I can see the cover of the book (which I've already seen in your newsletter) and the price and the shopping cart/buy now button but that's it.
Ideally I'd like to see some sort of additional bumpf about the book - the publisher's summary, another review or reader's reviews.
Here's why - While your newsletter review whets the appetite it doesn't have the main course of info about a book that would convince me to purchase it. Because I don't find that on the 800ceoread site I bump over to the competition - Amazon - and many times get a ton more info.
At that point I have to decide where to purchase it - and if - as today - their price is lower then all these efforts end up working against 800ceoread.
Hmmmmmm
I think it's time to suggest to your 800ceoread compatriots that they may want to step up their web efforts so that your terrific leadin doesn't go to waste.
Okay, inBubbleGuy...
First things first, hope you are feeling better.

Less a comment and more of a question.
