Stephen King's Under the Dome in Kindle edition
Since they delayed this so long, I wonder how Kindle sales will be relative to what it might have been if they'd released this along with the hardcover book, since a lot of reviews are available.

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
Sadly had this book been available at the same time as the hardcover launched I would have purchased it instead of something else (can't remember which title I bought back then). But to make matters worse (for Stephen and the publisher) I found a pdf of the book via bittorrent and used Calibre to convert it for my Kindle.
ReplyDeleteYou would think book publishers would have learned a lesson that the RIAA and MPAA are learning the hardway. Make digital content readily available at a reasonable price (think iTunes or Amazon MP3 sales)and many (most?) people will take the legitamate route to get it.
Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI realize you can't report your experience directly to Amazon's customer service, but maybe they'll read notes like this in various forums and take note of it. (The publishers, that is, maybe with the help of Amazon staff.)
Thanks.
When will this be available to Australian readers?
