THE WINDUP GIRL for Kindle (and every other eBook reader, too)
Friday, April 9th, 2010I've been getting enough questions about a Kindle/eBook version of THE WINDUP GIRL that I thought I'd post this here: THE WINDUP GIRL *does indeed* have a Kindle version available, but not through Amazon.

Amazon, Kindle and Windup Girl in ebook
Saturday, January 30th, 2010With Amazon blocking Kindle editions of all Macmillan books, particularly my friends who are Tor authors, I'd like to log a couple thoughts about ebooks. First, some blatant pimpage: The Windup Girl is available for $6, DRM-free, at Webscriptions.net. http://www.webscription.net/p-1121-the-windup-girl.aspx. If you're into ebooks, it's pretty much the best deal ...
