Timely Persuasion<\/em> is now available on the Amazon Kindle<\/a> for the low price of $1.99.\u00c2\u00a0 (I figure if you shelled out $359 for a Kindle you like to read and deserve cheap content.)<\/p>\n

Don’t have a Kindle?\u00c2\u00a0 Kindle books can also be read on the iPhone & iPod Touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No new bonus lyrical references this time around, though I am kicking myself for not quoting “I never did like it all that much and one day the axe just fell” when the narrator refers to his recent layoff from a dead-end job in Chapter 1.<\/p>\n

Even if you already own the paperback<\/a> it’s still worth checking out to show off to your friends while out and about.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a slick image of the LBDG 8 Track in Chapter 18.\u00c2\u00a0 Plus it might help me justify the way too many hours I spent on Kindle specific formatting.\u00c2\u00a0 (Props to KreelanWarrior.com<\/a> for the helpful post on adding a cover image and table of contents.)<\/p>\n

And since I don’t like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made, here’s a little tip:\u00c2\u00a0 Images resized using the “Preview” application in Mac OS X 10.5 won’t render at all on a Kindle for some reason.\u00c2\u00a0 You need to reopen and re-save the file using a different image editing program (I eventually used Seashore<\/a>) for it to work.\u00c2\u00a0 Only took me 3 days to figure that out…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
