Just a thought for Alex...
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to browse the mobi books section and then click a button that say, "E-mail to my Kindle?" Just a thought...

And so you can, (almost).
Download our mobipocket download guide. Go to the ebooks button and click on "mobipocket download guide." There's a thread about it here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25256 |

Oh, I do that, but when i do, the battery takes an alarming dip, and it is about six hours out of sync. When I'm at my computer and some cool new book comes up and i don't have my sync cord, I'd like to make it happen right then. With the Kindle and e-mail capability, I could have my desires met right away.
I know, kindle users are a bunch of spoiled brats, but it would still be cool... |

This could be added, I think. But it would cost something for the Kindle user to receive the e-mail, wouldn't it?

If you do implement the email feature, could you do it for all ebook formats? There are several situations where it could be useful. |

This should be very much possible. I am going to look into that as soon as I can.

We would also need to know what address the email was coming from to add it to our allow list.

One more thing-
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but what are the chances of having a MobileRead store? I doubt it's likely, but I am curious. |

for now we can at least definitely encourage authors writing under a CC licence to distribute their work here (unless, as is the case for Spacejock Hal, they need to be able to reference the download count, and therefore must keep the distribution local on their own site). |
