International Kittens of Mystery
In an uncertain world there is one organisation that stands head and small furry shoulders above the rest. Whenever the planet is in danger – be it from giant balls of wool or bands of renegade squirrels – only one group is guaranteed to answer the call: The International Kittens of Mystery! This is a journal of their stories. For the first time, cameras have been allowed into one of their top secret training camps – Training Camp Alpha. A camp where, under the supervision of pet humans, recruits are shown not only how to save the world but also how to manage their secret identities – how to blend in and infiltrate the human society that they alone can protect. If you like a laugh and looking at large colour pictures of cute kittens saving the planet, this is the book for you. It’s the book the iPad was designed for – ask Steve Jobs’ cat. The book can be downloaded from here in ePub, PDF, Mobi or prc format for the bargain price of $2.99.

It's a difficult one to price. Amazon have a minimum price of $1.99 for ebooks over 3Mb - which International Kittens of Mystery is. So, we couldn't go any lower than that. But Amazon are also setting a minimum of $2.99 for ebooks to be considered for their premium service in June so, with that in mind, we set the price at $2.99.

It's the scheme where Amazon increase the royalty paid to publishers from 35% to 70% (net of delivery charge) as long as certain criteria are met. I can't find the Amazon press release but Google Amazon and 70% and you should find plenty of info on it. Here's one site http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/gadge...f-apple-tablet I found.

It looks great on an iPad and on PCs and Macs. You'll lose the colour on the B&W ereaders but here's a review of the book from a cat blogger (written by the cat who read it on a first generation Kindle.
“IKM is a quick (30 minutes or so) but really fun read, with thrilling stories of kittens undergoing their training as well as using that training in real-life, dangerous situations. We were on the edge of our seats ... Those IKM kittehs are masters of disguises....and so darn cute. (That must be part of their disguise!) This is a must-read book for kittens and cats of all ages...woofies too! “This ebook will work best on the computer or a color ebook reader because of the photos, but The Mommy read it to us using her 1st generation Kindle, which only shows black-and-white photos, and the photos showed up good enough on it to be able to enjoy them in that format, so don't let that stop you. “Twelve paws up from The Kitty Krew!” - The Kitty Krew. |
