Geeze, if they’d just fix my Mobi-books they’d be there
Current tally of books in the Kindle Store: 99,926 Think I’ll go put another 5 into Mobipocket.

I’m late with this one, but Sony’s clever marketing team, to sell the device, came up with a pink-skinned PRS-505. Also includes 14 Harlequin ebooks. Meanwhile Amazon, without fanfare, has terms so palatable that Samhain and other romance/romantica–oh, whatever, I’m … Continue reading
