I want this book on Kindle! (Come in and klick!)

[Gables Girl]

I doubt if we are going to see them any time soon.  Michner's The Source was on Kindle for a very brief time and then disappeared.  I was lucky enough to get it for $2.50.  There must be some digital rights issues with his works. 

He left all his books to Swarthmore, his alma mater, guess we need to send them letters.

That's quite a wish list, pstanton.  Here's clicking that your wishes all come true.

I have gone thru the entire thread and clicked on all.  Good luck to everyone!
I was dismayed to see some of the new covers that have been put on the oldies-but-goodies.  Is it me or do the newer covers generally suck?  Example:  Watership Down.  What was wrong with the original?  The story doesn't deserve that horrid bright cover. 

I was happy to find a past click request have been Kindled:  Taking Woodstock 

Okay, I am dying to get the below series on my Kindle.  All clicks appreciated and helpful.  I have also contacted the author (who had no idea what I was talking about) as well as the publisher, so my fingers are crossed.

Beyond the Summerland
Bringer of Storms
Shadow in the Deep
Father of Dragons

Thank you!

I click on these for you. I took a look and some of the key words are Christian Fiction.  I would love to know about these.  Would you mind posting something about these in the Christian Fiction thread?  Thanks


pstanton, clicked on yours. Good luck,

Think I am caught up now.

Can amazon tell whether it's one person clicking 12 times or 12 people each clicking once?  I go back and click again on certain books but don't know if I am just wasting time...

[Jeff]

Can amazon tell whether it's one person clicking 12 times or 12 people each clicking once?

Yes, they can tell if they really want to know. But they may very well use click counts to try to lure publishers. In that case, they may not pass along the fact that many of the clicks are actually from the same person.

I've been wondering that myself.  What you said makes sense.  I hope that's what Amazon is doing.  I know they had a similar program for DVDs and I clicked my little fingers off.  All that clicking finally paid off for the movie I really wanted, but it took a year.

Of course, I could be wrong. There’s also the very real possibility that the button does nothing and they just put it there to keep customers from bothering them.

Jeff, you are so insightful.

Jeff, you are so insightful. 

Thank you, Gertie. Insightful wasn’t exactly the word that I had expected you to use.

I'd love to have Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons on my Kindle. That one never gets old for me.

Why are books 2 through 6 readily available to anyone who likes a little humor with their fantasy books when the first one isn't? (You can also get book eight)

It does seem rather odd, I've seen lots of fantasy series with only the later entries on the Kindle. Its rather odd.

Anyways, I've just read book one of the Timuras Trilogy, When the Gods Slept

and it was great. TERRIBLE editing, the guy who proofread the manuscript should quite simply be shot, for example, there are the ocasionally jarring bits like this:

"Your new title comes flows smoothly to my lips, sir. And I must say it fits very you very well."

uhhhhh.... yeah. But still I loved it!

Here's the other two books in the series. In case anyone's wondering, I picked the first book,  When the Gods Slept up at Barnes & Noble, finished it all today and immediately turned on my Kindle and searched the Kindle Store for book 2:

Wolves of the Gods

and book 3:
When the Gods Awaken

Thank you, Gertie. Insightful wasn’t exactly the word that I had expected you to use. 

Was the word possibly "cynical?"

I am something of a Greek Geek, and I'd really like to have the Fagles tor Fitzgerald translation of the Iliad and Odyssey on Kindle. The free ones that are available are very old editions, and they just don't measure up to these later ones.

Amazon shows the Fitzgerald translation of The Iliad as available for Kindle, but when you click the link it actually takes you to the Samuel Butler translation. I have that one, and the Kindle edition is full of typos and even some mistakes (in one place, Hera is mis-named Helen). 

It's odd, but I've read these books over and over again, since I was a kid, and I never get tired of them. They are like a couple of great adventure stories to me, so I'd love to have them on the Kindle in editions I can read repeatedly. So please go to either the Fagles or Fitzgerald versions, and click away!

[Susan M]

I would like to read Thomas Foster's How to Read Novels Like a Professor...

Thank you everyone for clicking the link.  I just looked for the book again and there is a pre-order button and it says it will be available Dec 30th.  Yay!

[chiffchaff]

There are 3 books on animal behavior (with an emphasis on dog behavior) that I'd love to have on Kindle, so they were searchable:
For Love of a Dog

The Other End of the leash

Animals in Translation


thanks for your help!
[edited to fix errant link]

[ljloula]

ChiffChaff,

The link for the first book isn't pointed correctly, just FYI. Clicked on all 3 for you!

[Gertie Kindle 'a/k/a Margaret Lake']

I clicked for you, but you really should fix that first link. 

[chiffchaff]

thank you  - I think I have it fixed now
