Yes, I've been ... away

Aaaaaaaaactually, I haven't been away, but I've been spending a lot of time on Dragon Ship; last night I was up until ... 2 AM this morning. The book is due in, last chance, RSN, and with Sharon's hillside tumble the other day (and resultant Very Bad Sprain(TM) she's been slowed.

So while I was writing last night, Sharon was busy i nthe guts of ebook-machines ... and thus, Sharon's newest ebook is the first story we tried to deliver online:

http://www.amazon.com/They-Brought-Bears-Belfast-ebook/dp/B006UABHGA/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1325862286&sr=1-1

Meanwhile, it is snowing and the police have asked people to say off of certain roads (like many of them in this area) until conditions improve. So much for gym today, I guess.

Reminder -- still plenty of time to make plans for ChattaCon -- (see http://chattacon.org/) where we're goign to have a heck of a line-up.

Later... got to sweep the deck before the "brief snow shower" we've been experiencing since 5 AM gets any deeper.

Now they say 1-3 inches of snow shower.

It looks like the only way to read the "Bears" story is with a Kindle and I refuse to buy one. Will it ever be available elsewhere. Should I get one of my kids to downoad it for me and lend me the machine?

I dunno -- you can get it on the Nook, too, and ought to be available from smashwords, though they're slow sometimes. You can read kindle stories from teh kindle app, FWIW.

Nope, not available from Smashwords, yet, and probably not for a number of days, even weeks. Smashwords...has quite a few hoops that I need to jump through, compared to the relative ease of formatting for BN and Amazon, which is why the books always go up there last. Once "Bears. . ." is there, one of the choices will be to download a .pdf file, which can be printed.

refuse to buy one

You can download "Kindle for PC" for free and read it on your PC. I won't buy one either but this free application has worked out pretty well to get the Kindle stories that I want.
