From the BookPeople’s Blog.  A great idea by an indie bookstore which is using ebooks as a sales tool.  We need more innovative thinking like this:

We know lots of you will be receiving shiny new e-readers this holiday season. A new gadget is fun but can be overwhelming, so let us make it easier for you. We’re here to help you learn how to enjoy your new e-reader and continue to support your local bookstore while reading ebooks!

Beginning December 30th, BookPeople is excited to offer you a one-on-one opportunity to learn the ins and outs of reading digitally and independently. Book an appointment with one of our specially trained e-book concierges and we will show you how to find, purchase, and download your favorite e-books from bookpeople.com. We will also show you how to read those books on your new device.

Appointments are available Monday through Friday during regular business hours and Saturdays from 12-8:30. To book your appointment now, email us at ebooks@bookpeople.com and list three time slots in order of preference. An e-book concierge will be with you shortly to book your appointment.

And, remember, we are here to try and answer any and all questions you have about e-books. Just drop us a line atebooks@bookpeople.com.

Thanks to Shelf Awareness for the link.
