Want to spend your weekend reading some good books?

Icon 1 Comments
Well, we've gone and done it. We've launched our second and third formats for our ebooks. We currently have eight of our thirty-five books available in both ePub and Kindle formats (with more coming soon).

Before I get to the links, let's discuss a couple of things about ebook formats, what we have available, and your options for reading. Besides print books, of course!

Let's start with the easy one...
The Kindle: you can read the Kindle format ON the Kindle, and on any piece of hardware that can run the Kindle app, including on the iPad and your PC. Kindle purchases must be made directly from the Kindle store, and require an Amazon Kindle account.

The ePub format: this is the "universal" format for ebooks at this time. You can read our ePub format on all ePub readers, including the iPad, the Kindle, the Nook, the Kobo, and the Sony eReader. You can also read ePub ebooks on your computer with any number of free ebook readers, including almost all of the above hardware's "PC" installed readers. For those who have the Firefox web browser, you can also install the free add-on for Firefox that allows you to read ePub ebooks in your browser window.

**The two above formats, Kindle and ePub, are formatted to be read on ebook readers, which only allow certain formatting. This means that while you get a neat and clean and easily readable ebook, you don't get to see how pretty our books really are. It's okay, we understand that the point of reading on ebook readers is to have an easy and portable reading experience.

The PDF format: this is the format of ebooks we've had from the very start. When you buy and read the PDF version of our ebooks, they look exactly like our print books. You get color covers, you get pretty fonts, you get pictures on the chapter headings. You can read PDFs almost anywhere, while keeping the nice formatting we as publishers spend so much time designing. The Kindle and the iPad both read PDFs, though my understanding is that PDF ebooks on the Kindle 2 (the original Kindle does not read PDFs) don't look great. The iPad reads PDFs in its iBooks ereader software, and the results are quite lovely, if a little clumsy to navigate. Lastly, you can read PDFs on your PC and Mac without any issue, with free Adobe Reader software, installed on almost every computer.

If you've purchased an ebook from us and need assistance getting the ebook onto your ebook reader, please contact your hardware vendor. If they are unresponsive, please email me, and I will attempt to assist you. I don't profess to be an expert on all the devices, but I can certainly try to point you in the right direction.

All our ebooks are the same price, no matter where you purchase them from and no matter which format you choose.

And don't forget, you can ALWAYS buy our books in print!
