Amazon is merely acting as the bookstore for the Kindle books. They don’t purchase the rights, they just agree to sell the book, which doesn’t have anything to do with publishing rights.
Oh, yeah. Never mind.  |

I would like to read Thomas Foster's How to Read Novels Like a Professor...   I read his earlier book - How to Read Literature Like a Professor on the Kindle and it is very engaging. Already available - but thought you might like the link:   |

Clicked on both, Scott and Susan M.
Travis McGee are classics as far as I'm concerned. I've got about 11 of them. Since I lived in the area, I tried looking for The Busted Flush in slip F-18 at Bahia Mar. Sigh, no luck.

It's a crime that none of the 21 Travis McGee books are on Kindle.
So to speak.  |

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

So to speak. You can have half of the "salvage" if you get them Kindled. (This makes some sense to anyone who's been aboard the Busted Flush ) |

I want to see the entire MacGregor series by Nora Roberts on Kindle. I have clicked and clicked, because I have re-read these so many times I have worn out my DTB copies.

I didn't think about clicking on the MacGregor series. I adore Daniel. These are Silhouette books, and I'm guessing that's why they aren't kindleized and her newer books with a different publisher are. I'll have to go click. |

Yep you are right. Swan Song is 2nd only to the Stand in the end of the world genre. Technically its more uplifting but its a shame its not kindled.
I clickety clicked.

Those are for 1st edition hardcover editions which I guess are rare enough to some folks to warrant that price. Or maybe a 900+ hardcover is the cause of so many dead trees that its a 'deterrant' price.  |

Okay, I have a weird one I'd love to get on my Kindle. The Theocratic Kingdom by G.N.H. Peters. http://www.amazon.com/Theocratic-Kingdom-3-Set/dp/0825435404/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228795225&sr=8-1He was my great-great-grandfather and I've only seen one copy in my life at my grandmothers and I have no idea what happened to it. He was considered a crackpot by the church when he wrote this and in fact got kicked out of the ministry for writing it. There isn't a big audience out there for it so if I can get enough of you to klick maybe they will Kindle it. I'd even pay more then $9.99 to get it, it is 3 volumes. Thanks for your klicks. |

is it legal? have to ask! Kinda-sorta-not-exactly. The book fell out of print for around five years at about the same time as the birth of e-books. This was also when we didn't know if downloading free music was legal or not. It was a topsy-turvy time in the world of digital media. When I got the book in digital format, I did so because it was out of print and considered "legal" at the time... and I had lost my original copy in my divorce and desperately wanted to read it again. (No, I never went a week without a rationalization.) |
