There's a lot of serialized novels available online.
Currently, I'm doing a little test with Stanza + Feedbooks, we're distributing directly to the iPhone the following serialized novels: Stillwater & Selene. Selene: http://www.lilithsaintcrow.com/selene/ On Feedbooks: http://www.feedbooks.com/feed/6180 Stillwater: http://scaryparent.blogspot.com/ On Feedbooks: http://www.feedbooks.com/feed/6182 I use Yahoo Pipes! to filter and reverse the feeds, this way I get something that looks exactly like a book through Feedbooks. |

I'm all over that one too! Thanks too!
Edit: Hadrien, this was so easy to download on my iPod Touch. I didn't even have to search for it, it was right there under Online Catalogs. In fact, I see all the newspaper feeds there as well. Great job! Last edited by daffy4u; 09-13-2008 at 07:13 PM. |

Kewl. Was just reading yesterday that his first 'Scotland Street' book was originally serialis(z)ed (?) in the Times.
Was raving about No. 1 Ladies in Recommendations too so this is perfect! I'm sure anyone who's read his stuff before won't hesitate, and for anyone who isn't sure I'd definitely recommend having a look. |
