Anyone know where/when the winners are posted? Contest doesn’t show when they are drawing me as, I mean, drawing a winner. haha

Nevermind, the book is up there now.

you can in fact browse to ereader.com from safari and buy on the device. You can also choose the “other sites”, browse to ereader (or fictionwise), buy and download.

We are working on a site optimized for the smaller browser, we hope to have at least a beta live by first week in september. Once that’s up and running there will be a much more convenient direct buy from the device.

I am upset that my Star Trek book Fearful Symmetry hasn’t come out at ereader.com.

Can one actually buy an eReader book from an iPod Touch? I don’t see the store like I do on my Windows Mobile device, I just see my book shelf. What am I missing?

I assume that the system is tracking downloads from the bookshelf and thus when I downloaded one last night I was entered into the contest.

>>>consuming more eBook content

I really, really want to slap you around for that.

Writers write to be *read*, not consumed.

Books are not Big Macs, dammit.

Thanks for the clarification Steve. I’m still going to buy a new title… I go through ‘em too fast.

Slight clarification: We are not requiring you to even buy a book. We are only requiring you to upgrade to version 1.1 and *download* any book, even one you previously owned, or a free book from our free books list, onto your iphone or ipod touch.

No purchase necessary!

The point of the promotion is to get everyone upgraded to the new release, and get people who have not tried it yet to give it a whirl. We think once they do, they’ll be hooked.

Hey there again,
thanks for listing the contest and free ebooks. I just signed up and downloaded 7 ebooks. Now I just need a device to load them on. wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
On a semi-related note, heard anything new about the release of Moblin Fedora?
Thanks for a great daily column!
Robert
