Hi,
I have the paper book version but it is great to be able to have it on my kindle. I have to say i found it very hard to find by just typing either the book title, lee's name or both in the search field. It did used to find it just thought you may need to add something to make it easier to find for your general reader.

Time zone issues! Sorry. But it is free now. I did what I could to make it findable, but it's tricky! They allow you to put in key words, so I put in words like "wheelchair" and "disabled" but I don't know how the keyword thing works. The best way to make it findable is tagging it and I can't do that alone, so if anyone visits the page, even if you don't download it, add some tags! I know Kindle isn't everyone's favorite and Amazon taking over the world is a bit scary, but it seems to get the widest audience. My experience with having books available for Kindle, Nook, iTunes and on Smashwords with every other format is that I sell at least ten times as much on Amazon  Also, apologies for the price. I forget that it adjusts it for the international sites. I put 2.99 for the .com site and then it automatically modifies it to be equivalent for all the international sites. |

I just own a different ebook reader, and Amazon only sells ebooks for Kindle. I'll happily download them to read on my computer if they're free, but paying seems a bit too much. Also, I'd already bought the PDF version (which isn't ideal either, but at least I could convert into something useable if needed). |

Enid, you should get a software called Calibre,if you didn't already. I used it before I got the Kindle. You could also get for free Kindle for PC and/or smartphone. It's brilliant. The same as a device, only you have to read it on your computer.
I got ths book,thanks Ruth & Lee!

Oh sorry, I didn't mean that you were scared of Amazon, I meant that I am! I see all the behind the scenes stuff with their policies and they scare me a bit |

I thought they had too much DRM crap on them. Kindle looks terrible on my phone. Serif fonts shouldn't be forced on such tiny screens. I don't understand why you can change the size but not the font itself. Anyway, thanks for the tip! |

#55 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Fiction > Short Stories
Best sellers rank currently (though the best sellers lists are separate for books that are currently free and books that are not, so it's not as impressive as being on a paid best sellers list!)
