[Theepistle] Kindling interest

[Ian Dickerson]

Whilst I’m firmly with Delmo in favour of the printed page nowadays I am a lot more accepting of Kindles if not other forms of electronic literature.

 

The problem with offering the adventures of the Saint on those platforms is simply one of effort versus return. I think it would be far too much effort for very little return.

 

Happy to be persuaded otherwise though!

 

Ian

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?
