[Theepistle] Kindling interest

[Delmo Walters Jr.]

I bought a Kindle for my sister for Christmas but you'll have to pull the printed page from my cold, dead hands.

I got my Kindle DX a couple of months ago and have read quite a few books on it since, including "Capture the Saint";. Along with several Bulldog Drummond, Alistair MacClean and a few Mickey Spillane's books (and a couple of Louis L'amour's).


I like the fact that I can adjust the font size for my aging eyes on the Kindle. Waymon

So Burl’s novel is available on Kindle! 


 


Pardon me for “switching to smug mode” here but I suggested a few years ago that electronic publishing might be a way to get our beloved buccaneer back into “print” [sic]. The response from the group, back then, was not positive. I still think that it would be possible to publish the entire catalogue on a few platforms (Kindle, Sony, Stanza etc), at very little cost, without the involvement of a publisher. I mostly read new books using the Stanza app on my iPhone. It means that I’ve always got them with me, I can read anywhere and it allows me to find books, like The Saints, that publishers don’t find  economically feasible to print. 


 


Shame I can’t read “Capture...” that way: when’ll it be out for the iPhone Burl?
