Dana Stabenow announces....
...the first two Star Svensdotter series are available on Kindle. These have been out of print for approximately 15 years, she says on her site: http://www.stabenow.com .
I have probably made myself persona non grata with her, though, (which sucks, because up til now I've been an adoring fan) because I left impassioned pleas on both her website and on her goodreads blog begging her to reconsider and release for all ebook formats and stores, not only Amazon and Kindle. |

Thanks for mentioning this. I left her a long comment too. She's probably tired of me too as I've brought up her current publishers crappy ebook support with her many times.

I LOVE the Kate series. I didn't know about the latest only being available for Kindle, though. That's disappointing

It is really a shame when authors just don't get eBooks.

Hopefully Dana, who it appears has the rights to her earlier stuff, will hook up with Fictionwise or someplace like ereads to get her stuff out in multiple formats. I think a lot of authors are willing to try the Amazon route when they're self publishing because it allows them to get the books out without having to really know much. A lot of writers just want to write and don't "get" all the technical stuff yet. Last edited by AnemicOak; 03-28-2009 at 04:28 PM. |

Get this. I was just looking around and while you can't buy a legal copy, other than the crappy Kindle one, the book's been scanned and put on the darknet.

You are NOT helping. LOL!!!! I swear, that's like dangling a bottle in front of an alcoholic. I have enough problems resisting the siren call of the Darknet now, for books I really want! |

I was thinking more of the fact that when some do get into eBook form, it's a real mess like only available in Topaz at Amazon or only available in PDF.
