Kindle for PC software

digital editions by Daniel Ford

I'm gradually making my books and short pieces available in digital form, including for Amazon's elegant Kindle reader. (You can also read Kindle e-books on Apple's iPhone or--my favorite--the Apple iPod Touch.)

More recently, Smashwords has provided a platform for e-books that can be read in almost any popular format, including on the Kindle, Sony Reader, iPhone, or Touch, or on your computer wherever you might be. Here's a dollar-off coupon for Incident at Muc Wa on Smashwords: LH23Y. Paste it in you check out, and the novel is yours for $2.99 (good until January 31).
