ebook: 151 Ways to Ruin a Baseball Game
 
A number of emails and posts on the Internet convinced me I should provide an eBook for 151 Ways.

It's not as easy as they say, especially if you don't use Word. (And no self-respecting author would!)

It's true: KDP "accepts" many formats. But that's when they are converting the text. As Bogart says in Casablanca, "For a fee, Ugarte. For a fee."

I spent several days doing that conversion simply because I'm a Scot and we don't throw money away.

The book is $8.99. You may lend it to another person under certain circumstances, or you may simply check it out as from a lending library. That cost to you is: $0.00.

The idea is that you'll like and buy it so you can read it at any time "on your favorite device." Whatever the hell that means.

I have a Kindle Fire. I prefer paper and ink, but I'm an old man, set in my ways.

I'm told Amazon will offer it for sale sometime on calendar day 8/3 or 8/4.

From one ole man to another, Thanks Carl.

Hard copy came yesterday but, will still get electronic one because it is just so easy to carry 100 books on one device, than 100 books.

Variety is still the spice of life.

Thanks

Coincidence: My copies came yesterdeay. As the author, I pay a little less since my royalty is not included.

Thanks for being a loyal "student."

Sorry to disappoint. I wouldn't waste the words. But one must admit, he is the darling of QuesTek - or whatever it's called now.
