Half-Assed on Kindle

My publisher has told me that sales of the Kindle edition of Half-Assed are doing well. I wish I owned a Kindle so I could see what it looks like on the mobile device. I only saw one once briefly in the hands of another passenger as I was walking down the aisle of a plane. Once digital readers become more affordable, I think they will really take off. I would have loved to have stored all my college textbooks in one lightweight device instead of in 50+ pounds of textbooks.

There will still be a place for books made from dead trees, particularly well-crafted books with illustrations. There is something about the tactile sensation of holding a book that can’t be duplicated. However, there is also something to be said for convenience and the ability to bring your entire library on a plane. I hope all my Kindle readers have been enjoying the book.

    I just finished reading your book, and I totally loved it! I actually expect I will read it again sometime, so it’s staying on my bookshelf.

    Hi,
    I have your book on the Kindle and it looks very nice!The font is unusual (for Kindle books, anyway), and it’s a nice change.

    If you want to see, I snapped some photos:

    The last 2 shots show some wonky formatting but the whole book wasn’t like that, just those pages. It’s like the conversion had a hiccup or something (I’ve seen formatting issues with other Kindle books too.)

    I’m really glad you made your book available on Kindle. I enjoyed it so much and thought it was wonderful!

    Kerry, thank you so much for the screenshots of my book on Kindle! I will ask my publisher about those conversion hiccups. Perhaps we can get them fixed.
