Even though I love gadgets, I’ve never bought a Kindle. I came close on several occasions, but I’ve restrained myself partly because I don’t like Amazon’s proprietary Mobi format. If Amazon went out of business, then all the books you’ve purchased under their ecosystem might become unusable. I believe all ereaders should use an open standard format (currently ePub) so that the books are more portable from device to device.

As many of you know I e-published my first book, "Ice Cream and Venom" about eight months ago on Amazon in Kindle format. It's been very well reviewed - better than I expected, really - but being as it was my first book, and my first experience with that format, it had a LOT of formatting and editing errors I didn't notice until after it was online and people started pointing 'em to me. They were substantial. Also, to be honest, the order of the stories didn't flow very well. It started out on the weakest (And most deliberately offensive!) one. Also, the Table of Contents didn't work.
Frequent Republibot contributor, cartoonist, minister and (most notably today) author Samuel Ben White has released his ninth (!!!) novel. It is another in his increasingly misnamed Time Travel Trilogy (mind you, that's not his name for it, but I thought it was catchy.
Exciting news! The Republibot site that you all know and love (c'mon, admit it. You know you do...) is now available on Kindle!Seriously! For chump change (only $1.99 per month), you can have Republibot wherever you go!
