Boycotting Amazon? You can still read my ebooks on your Kindle!


 If you want to buy my books in print format and you're boycotting Amazon, do not despair! Your friendly independent bookstore will be delighted to order them for you. Borderlands, Mysterious Galaxy, Powell's, and others do mail orders. Some of these stores carry my autographed editions. Don't forget Barnes and Noble (for both print and ebooks).


What about ebooks? Never fear, you are not restricted to buying from Amazon for your Kindle! Buy my books in epub format from one of the many other ebook vendors (Google Play, Apple, Smashwords, and many others). Side-load to your Kindle thus:

1. Download the file and place it where you can find it on your computer (I store mine in Calibre)
2. Go to your Amazon account and locate your unique Kindle email address. It's under Account & Listsà Content & Devicesà Devices. Your device should have the Kindle email listed (one that ends in “@kindle.com”).

3. Send the file as an attachment to your Kindle email. It should instantly appear on your Kindle.
