Would it be helpful if people post the title when they find a previously requested book is now Kindle-ized? I know I have a long "why isn't this on Kindle?" wish list, and it's time-consuming checking back through all those titles to see if they've shown up!!
So I took the time to go back to page 50 clicked on all the links I could. Here is the list of books that I found in those links I clicked that are now for the kindle. Zeitoun ~ Dave Eggers Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story (Kindle Edition) by Christopher Moore (Author) Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters The curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters Tangled Web: An M/M Romance ~ Lee Rowan Lovers' Knot: An M/M Romance ~ Donald Hardy (Author) Networking Like a Pro: Turning Contacts into Connections |

Wow, I'm way too lazy to do that! That was much more constructive than me whining, thanks!

I went ahead and clicked a few pages worth but maybe since some of the books on this thread are now Kindleized it would just be easier (and way less pages to wade through) to start a whole new thread?

Zeitoun ~ Dave Eggers
Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story (Kindle Edition) by Christopher Moore (Author)
Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters
The curse of the Pharaohs by Elizabeth Peters
Tangled Web: An M/M Romance ~ Lee Rowan
Lovers' Knot: An M/M Romance ~ Donald Hardy (Author)
Networking Like a Pro: Turning Contacts into Connections
I can't believe they finally got around to kindle-izing Zeitoun. I got it in hardcover for Christmas and read it in January. |

I'm starting to get a little frustrated by how much stuff ISN'T Kindleized. Why is it taking so long?  <pout>  Should I complain to Jeff B? |

Sadly, I don't think there's much he can do. It's up to the publishers.
Brand-new stuff seems to mostly make it to kindle. All kinds of very old public-domain works are available. But I think a lot of mid- and late-20th-Century books are kind of in limbo because no one thought about digital rights when the publishing contracts were signed, and also because publishers never seem to be interested in promoting their back catalogues (even though e-books would basically be FREE MONEY for them!). And then some writers don't want their work available on Kindle.
So, none of Salman Rushdie's major works, no Faulkner, no Eudora Welty or Colette, no Elizabeth Hand ... :-(

Done, and I threw in a request for The Ground Beneath Her Feet for good measure.

 I take dancing and this is an invaluable resource for me. I'd love to have it wherever I am.  This is one I've been meaning to read. I would be way more motivated to read it on Kindle. Edit: Added another book.  This one is one that's been suggested for me to read. I'll buy the DTB if I have to, but I'd like it on Kindle. |

I really love seeing new upcoming authors or Indie authors. Big house Publishers usually have a standard-true, nothing falls under the standard, but nothing goes above it either. With Indie authors, though you have to weed through them, I have found gems I could never have found under Big House Publishing. For Example, Die A Dry Breath. I first discovered her novel on authonomy and love it! But its exclusively with an Indie publisher for now.
