BookGlutton's store launch got a good write-up in Publisher's Weekly. Our O'Reilly books presented via the Unbound Reader got a little love from Ajaxian, the premiere Javascript community. Travis and Aaron also appeared on the WCIA Nightly News (on live TV no less!).

Tweet-freaks, stay current on BookGlutton News with the BookGluttonNews Twitter stream, or see what people are reading on the @bookglutton stream. We've also been known to drop by our FB page from time to time.

Did you know you can navigate through a book using your keyboard? Space bar will turn your page for you. Depending on your browser, you can also try pageup/pagedown or the arrow keys (up/down).

Not sure how BookGlutton works? Watch the Widget Video, the How It Works video. Also remember to check out our SciFi First Lines Facebook App and our Blog.

GIVE THE GIFT OF BOOKGLUTTON! BookGlutton's GIFTING FEATURE is alive and here to help all you brilliant, yet last-minute shoppers this holiday season. Any book for sale can be GIFTED! Find a book to read and buy your special someone some reading pleasure. Gifting a book is easy: find a book you like, click the "GIFT This Book" icon, punch in your credit card and we'll polish off an email to the lucky reader.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS! In the last few weeks we launched a partnership with McGraw-Hill for some new excerpts, Random House for new reads, and Girlebooks for some great collections by women writers (not to mention some great originals here and here). There is plenty to see and discuss on BG! While you're sitting around the house this holiday season dive in - remember you can preview a portion of any book for free.

MAKE A FAVORITE! Mark any book as a FAVORITE from the book detail page. This way you'll be able to get back to all your favorite books quickly. CLick the Make a FAVORITE icon to make it happen. Find your list of FAVORITES under your personal submenu > Collections, in the header.

HAVE YOU TRIED COLLECTIONS? Create your own personal lists of books using the new COLLECTIONS feature. You already have something called COLLECTIONS in your personal menu; that's where you find your RECENT READS, PURCHASES and FAVORITES. Now you can create and name your own lists of books, i.e. your own COLLECTIONS. Might I recommend creating a few lists called "Things I Always Meant to Read" or "Stuff My Friends Think Is Awesome" and then adding some books? Adding something to a Collection is easy, just look for the "Add to COLLECTION" icon on any book detail page.
