The next book you read should be…

Categories:

Did you know that Greta Christina has a book, Why Are You Atheists So Angry?, available on the Kindle store? You should read it, it’s fabulous and ferocious.

If you don’t have a Kindle, you do realize there are free apps for iPad, iPhone, Android, PC, and Mac, right? If you’re reading this, you’re probably able to be absorbed into the Amazon borg.

Gah! I’m waiting for the promised Nook version. Katherine Lorraine, are you loving it? The reviews have been so great, I am really looking forward to it!

Bought it! Thanks for making it so easy. My first ebook, and on an Android. I hope I don’t go blind trying to read the ‘fine print’!

Purchased! I will now be able to read this anywhere, anytime, as I am an assimilated member of the Amazon Borg, Mac and iOS version.

Why would being lied to and about make anyone angry?

What about it, IDiots?

I would but I don’t do credit cards, strictly cash and carry.

bubba707, if you are ever interested, most banks sell prepaid debit cards that you can use just like a credit card. You give them the cash and they load it onto a card that you can then use. I actually prefer to do my online shopping with a prepaid debit card… reduces the risk of loss in case the website’s security is ever compromised. There’s usually a fee of about $5

I, too, am waiting for the epub version to put on my nook. Can’t stand Amazon’s proprietary format bullroar. I really hope it’s out soon.

Thanks for the link to the Kindle App. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Now I’m off to buy the book.

Woof, there is the “Kindle Cloud Reader” (search it).

I haven’t tried it.

As a fun coincidence if you search Amazon for “Why are you atheists so angry” you get two results; Greta’s book, and a Ray Comfort book all about how desperately atheists need god.

Got it.

I got a Kindle for Christmas. It’s kinda freaky how easy it is to collect a library now.

Help! I have been anxiously awaiting Greta’s book and cannot buy it on my IPad. I have downloaded the kindle for Ipad app but cannot buy there and when I go to Amazon like Niftyspouse does for his popular fiction, it tells me that “this mobile application does not currently support kindle downloads”. Anyone have any suggestions? What am I missing? GAH!!!

Aha, thanks Olav! Looks like that will do me.

(For the Google-impaired, it’s at read.amazon.com)

Hmm, I think PZ meant to say that there’s a free app for Windows. PCs do run other operating systems, you know. PC ≠ Windows.

I’m using Windows Vista, and have Amazon’s Kindle for Windows app. It works really well.

As a bonus,

http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/

now downloads most of its titles in Kimble format.

Thanks for putting me onto the free AP. I have purchased it and am reading it as I can. It’s great.
