Every speaker has a choice when it comes to her words, and I've been wondering about whether speakers prefer speech texts, extemporaneous speaking or something in between. Over on The Eloquent Woman on Facebook , I asked readers: "Speakers, do you prefer to use a written speech, just notes or speak extemporaneously? Here's what you said: Angelina Seraphina Belmonte said her preference is to "Speak Tell us what you do and whether it works for you." And it seems our readers (so far) have a slight preference for speaking without text or notes --but are ready to switch it up

While the moderation requires extemporaneous speaking, the panel introductions did require a text--and gave me a good test opportunity . In this case, our venue had a nice spotlight trained over the reading surface of the lectern, and it was midday. I took the Amazon Kindle out for a test-drive in a real speaking engagement last month, when I moderated the annual media roundtable--a panel of three reporters--for Washington Women in Public Relations . Here's what I learned about what you should expect when using this new device in a live setting, from preparatory steps to actual

Fond as I am of trying new devices for speakers , I know that most speakers come to phases in their learning that require a major shift: from speaking as one of many in a meeting to a solo talk, from small groups to large audiences, from scripted to extemporaneous, or from low-tech to high, as in audioconferencing, incorporating online resources or using a teleprompter. This weekend, the New York Times looked at presidential candidate John McCain's struggles with more than one such speaker transition , as he moves to more scripted talks from his usual off-the-cuff style, and with
