digital editions by Daniel FordI'm making my books and short pieces available in digital editions, including for Amazon's elegant Kindle reader, as low as $139 for the next-generation wi-fi device. (You can also read Kindle e-books on Apple's iPhone, Touch, or iPad; on the Blackberry; and on any Mac or PC computer by downloading the free apps. Go here for more.) More recently, Smashwords has provided a platform for e-books that can be read in almost any format. These titles are also beginning to show up on Barnes & Noble's website, for downloading to its Nook e-book reader. Mobipocket editions are designed to be read on small handheld devices like the Blackberry. And if you prefer paper editions, just click here. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford, August 1
