Hey, I'd do the Craig Fergusen show for a nickel.  Ed Patterson I love the Late Late Show. I used the "Email Craig" option on their web site to send him a note about Operation EBook Drop - he supports the USO, maybe he will plug us! |

OED author Yale Jaffe will be interviewed on Tuesday 10/20 @ 8:30 AM CST on Chicago radio station 1530 AM. Simulcast and show archive on www.radiochicagoland.com. He said he's mentioning Operation EBook Drop. yeah Yale. And I asked him to shout it loud enough for Oprah to hear him. Ed Patterson |

I haven't needed any new books lately, but thanks to Ed's list on the first page of this, I know which authors I will be browsing next time I go looking.

Good News! I'm not sure if I shared this previously but I work for SAIC which is a defense contractor. Anyway, they have a feature on their Web site called Life@SAIC on which I will be featured and I discuss the OED program. It will be accessible to SAICs 44K+ employees via our intranet many of whom are deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan (and perhaps the general public via the Internet, not sure). I'm hoping this will provide some extra visibility and participants into the program. We'll see how it goes. It was worth a shot and didn't cost a cent.  |

As soon as read through this thread and figure out how to contribute, I will. I have two Kindle books about high school wrestlers. They say well over half of the troops competed as wrestlers at some point so maybe they'll enjoy.

I received a request this morning from a CAPM in Guantanamo Bay who will be coming onto the program as a troop and who is spreading the word at Gitmo about Operation EBook Drop.

I just came across this thread today, and I too am a grateful military mom and mother-in-law. I have a son in Iraq, a daughter-in-law who deploys soon, and a son in the Marines who will likely be sent somewhere before long. I bought a Kindle for my deployed son this summer and I just learned my DIL bought two for her and my other son.
I know already that the K2 has been a godsend for my deployed son. He's a voracious reader, and when he has time, he loves reading on his Kindle. I have sent him books on a disc that he's able to upload to his computer and then onto his K2.
I jumped from p. 1 to p. 14 so I have to go back and read all the postings, but I wanted to post my heartfelt thanks to all the authors who are offering their books, to the troops who are assisting and getting word out, and to KindleBoards for offering this great forum for Kindle users.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Great. It's been a busy day today - several new troops in the queue and a few authors preparing books for Sashwords.

My DIL and I posted links to this thread and the Smashwords 9-11-2009 article on our Facebook pages. I also sent info to my son who is deployed. We are trying to help spread the word of what you wonderful authors are doing! If anyone who reads this is thinking of buying a Kindle for a deployed loved one, today I discovered that Harvey turned some of my posts from this summer into a blog article on sending a Kindle to Iraq. You can read it at: http://www.kindleboards.com/blog/2009/07/a-kindle-heads-to-iraq/The accessories I selected were the result of lots of good advice I received from fellow KB members. --Shelley |

Ed, on Tuesday of this week I was interviewed on a Chicago radio show about my novel Advantage Disadvantage. During the conversation on air, I was able to talk about Operation Ebook Drop.
