Just in time for holiday gift giving!

The entire Baen ebook backlist is now in the Kindle store on Amazon.  This includes all of the Liaden Universe® novels, through Dragon Ship; the Fey Duology; and Carousel Tides, as well as fine novels by Lois McMaster Bujold, Dave Freer, Spider Robinson, Ryk Spoor, Jerry Pournelle, David Weber and all the rest of
our Baen colleagues. For Kindle users who indulge, that one click should be live now ...

Those who have been used to buying their ebooks directly from Baen may continue to do so since the arrangement with Amazon is in addition to the Baen direct sales. Of course, *all* Baen ebooks continue to be DRM-free.

Ms. Weisskopf at Baen has said that the company continues to work with other ebook distributors, in addition to Amazon.  Those who have ereaders other than Kindles may, as always, download ebooks directly from baenebooks.com in the platform of their choice.

PLEASE NOTE: 
This Infodumpling comes to you hot on the heels of Baen's massive upload to Amazon, and the databases are still being brought into alignment.  This means that you may have to search on the specific title that you want to find in the Kindle Store.  But we promise you, all of our books are there.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support of our work, and to wish you
the very best of holiday seasons, and a most excellent new year.

Sharon and Steve

I don't know from Nook, or B&N, but Amazon keeps a record of all the ebooks you've bought from them. If anything happens to your copy on your Kindle or your other enabled devices such as a PC or Android device (e.g., Blackberry), you can redownload them. I have two Kindles -- an older Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Fire. On my PC, I go to the Amazon website, sign in and go to "Manage your account." From there I can access my list of ebooks, and resend them to whichever device I want to. I can also access my Amazon account through my Kindle Fire and redownload books that way. Perhaps B&N has the same deal?

They do, which is why I claim laziness - buying from B&N means that I was able to redowload all my book purchased from them instantly. Going through the hoops to get my Baen-purchased books is more confusing (I'm a luddite, I admit. That makes things difficult for the folks at helpdesks, but I am aware of my deficiency and try to be as clear as I can when I call them, sobbing, because I'm erady to throw my new lovely ereader against a wall.)
