Baen ebooks now at Amazon!

[rolanni]

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

How Nice for You

[catherine ives (from livejournal.com)]

One problem I have about buying any kind of e-reader device is what do you do if something goes wrong with it? I know if one buys a Kindle at Best Buy there is a warrenty and they will fix it for you. Newsweek is reporting the imminent demise of Best Buy which can't keep up with Amazon. It's real estate is too expensive. Amazon works through giant warehouses places strategically around the US and whose numbers are growing. Folks tend to go into brick and mortar stores with their smart phone apps to find where is the cheapest place. These stores then become showrooms for Amazon. Very weird feeling on all this for me, an old person not used to all this. So, what do you do if you buy a Kindle off Amazon and it malfunctions?

Well, I expect you'd send it back to Amazon. If my tablet goes wrong, I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to send it back to Sony.

Kindles purchased from Amazon come with a one-year default warranty; you can buy a two-year one instead. When my Kindle died for no clear reason, I contacted Amazon, they shipped me a replacement Kindle and a label, and I shipped the Kindle back in that box. (The Kindles that died because my husband sat on them, we ate the loss and stuck to the cheapest Kindles. I suppose Eventually we found an aluminum case on ebay that we're very happy with.)

That said, any Kindle will need to be replaced sooner or later.
