After some experimentation with the formatting, I've made one of my out of print books available as a Kindle ebook through the Amazon online store. Let's just say that REBEL TRAIN has left the station! This is a "what-if" historical thriller about Confederate agents who hijack the train carrying Abraham Lincoln on his way to make the Gettysburg Address.
I'm still a bit on the fence about ebooks, simply because I love good ol' books made out of paper and ink, but ebooks could be a great option for authors because our titles will now always be available. Some successful authors are even opting out of print books altogether -- notably J.A. Konrath -- because he does well selling his ebooks directly.
I'll be adding REBEL TRAIN to the Barnes & Noble store for the Nook reader as soon as the good people at B&N make that option available. This is all new territory, and they are a step or two behind the Kindle.
Kindle is now selling for $139 ... but you don't have to buy one to read an ebook. You can download the Kindle reader (or Nook reader) to your laptop, Apple itouch, or home computer for FREE and then read books from their stores. Many classic titles are free, so it's kind of a great option if you are just curious about how it all works.
In the weeks to come, I'll be working on making more titles such as REBEL FEVER and WINTER SNIPER available as ebooks as well.
