Free Firefly novel "My Own Kind of Freedom"
Steven Brust has written a novel set in the Firefly universe, and he released it under a Creative Commons license. It's available in PDF and Word; so should be easily convertible to other formats.
I haven't read it yet, so I can't recommend it yet... But it's a Firefly novel, written by Steven Brust, how shiny is that? You can find it here: http://dreamcafe.com/firefly.html. |

I downloaded this and converted it to a .prc file for the Kindle, but the paragraph indents came through twice as deep as the should normally be. I tried replacing the document's indents with tabs but got the same result. I'm a novice at formatting ebooks, is there an easy way to fix this? I guess I could just delete the indents altogether, but not sure if that would completely mess up the formatting or not.

I must say, he's got the Firefly dialogue perfect; it's like having a whole new TV series to watch. Or maybe like having old friends drop round that you haven't seen for ages... |

I don't know about y'all, but I haven't had this much fun since the last time I was in a pro Alliance bar on Unification Day.
