Jack The Ripper A-Z For American Kindle Owners?

[I Am Sam]

Hello everyone.

I have a print copy of an older edition of the A-Z and would really like to update it with a kindle version.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available to U.S. customers.

I've seen it listed on the U.K. site, but it won't let me download it.

Does anyome know if amazon will be offering it here in the near future?

I think Paul Begg posts here, and I'm sure he will know about any plans.

Thank you.

Hi Sam. I've brought this up to Paul before. I got the impression he wasn't aware that it's not available in Kindle to Americans. Perhaps his publishers are bucking the trend of their industry and don't care for our Yankee Dollars.

Yours truly,

Sam, have you tried the "I want to read this book on Kindle" button on the American Amazon's listing for the print copy of the book? It does allow the publisher to know there is interest in getting it released as an e-book.

Thank you for the responses.

It's disappointing that the publisher isn't making this available right now, but they will probably come aroun.

I'll buy it as soon as it is available.

Thanks for the suggestion of the "I'd like to read this on kindle" button.
I didn't even know they had that.

I went over there and did that.

I think I may have been the last holdout to ebooks. I finally got a kindle about 2 weeks ago. I wish I had gotten one sooner.

It is so much easier on my eyes. Instead of using my reading glasses, I just adjust the font size.

Now I want everything on kindle.

Overall I much prefer Kindle because books are cheaper and they don't take up any space in my office. It is also nice to be able to travel anywhere with an entire collection of books.

One thing I miss about real books is that I have a hard time navigating through Kindle editions if I just want to find a specific detail, etc. I know there is a bookmark feature but if you don't bookmark something when you first read it, finding it again is sometimes challenging.

I actually find it harder on my eyes.

My daughters neurologist says they are dangerous, not sure why, I have seen him snatch them out of kids hands and say to parents "We will talk about this later".

I have a similar issue, I am likely to recall that what I am looking for us 2/3 rds of the way into the book, right hand side page half wat down the page following 4 short paragraphs and can find it pretty quick, in Kindle that is all useless.

No darlin, I'm the last holdout. I want to feel the book in my hands. Sad, ain't it?

Not sad at all. I also love the smell.

I care about reading more than what I read, so I enjoy both books and e-books. Read an article about a study among college students which showed a majority said they liked e-books for some subjects, but print books for others, like history and literature. They also mentioned liking being able to flip backward in paged book, which is harder in an e-book.

I agree with that. Many a time I've remembered an incident or a quote and quickly looked it up in one of my books. I do have a lot of e-books too, but the main reason for those is that I'm running out of space in my home. Bookcases are in every room except the bathroom and toilet! Biographies and true life crime e-books sometimes don't have indexes at all, and that's their real disadvantage for me.

Why not that two too.

And the older the book, the richer the smell.
