I don’t have a Kindle. Is there a TXT or PDF or anything else?

Thanks PC! I’ll download them all on the 23rd! I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but it’s been slow going for me.

There are free programs that read epubs. Such as Epub reader, etc. just google them.

Amazon has a program called Kindle for PC so that you can read kindle books on your computer. It is free to download.

My favorite reader for my PC is the Book Bazaar Reader reads almost any format.
Question for the author I see you have all three titles on the Kindle Unlimited program. Do authors get paid at least a little bit if I get the books through my Kindle Unlimited subscription rather than waiting to get for free? Already paying Amazon may as well get them that way as any other.

Yes, I get a little via the Kindle unlimited depending on how much you read if I remember right. Getting paid is not really on my radar. I think that I've gotten about $30 from all the books over the last six months. This is more about just saying that I've written and published a book. If any of you are out there thinking about writing a book, just do it! If you've got any questions about the process I can tell you where some of the pitfalls are in getting it to Kindle.

Can you please post them on an alternate site? Amazon does not see a “Kindle device” or reader on this machine (Linux OS) and the Kindle-for-PC only works on the ‘doze platform so I can not even download them from the ‘zon site.

Or, if it’s not too much trouble, feel free to send them to this machine or FReepamail a link and I can transfer them to a format that others can read at their leisure on any machine(s).

Cheers.

I have never written a kindle book, but I can give you pitfalls...

Formatting and editing.

Some great stories or narratives made almost unreadable due to just those two issues.

Sorry, no. Contract will not allow at this time. Though perhaps in a couple months I’ll come back and offer them in another format.

Sorry to hear that. However, you can (perhaps) post links to an e-book format if your contract does not disallow and as long as those (non Amazon-linked) files are accessible then they can still be translated / exported to other formats.

If you are truly not interested in profit for your mental meanderings then I have no problem with offering you a bit of a contribution to read your writings and considering the makeup of FReepers in general you might be surprised at how many of us are willing to put up a bit of capitol to bear with your meanderings.

Just don’t be surprised if we are brutally direct in our opinions of your literary leanings and post honest opinions of your efforts now and again.

It will only make you stronger, after all.

Cheers.

:)
