Greetings -!

bb is back next week! For today, it's me again.

It is always nice to see something new from Elizabeth Southwater, who has developed a big following, which (whom? I suppose an editor should know!)  SPECIAL CARGO should delight. Her style of writing is very refreshing with its light half playful half cynical tone, and it is nice to have a man who loves the women he enslaves as opposed to forced slavery. So - the tone may be a little too gentle for some of you, but I think all of you will enjoy the main story, and most of you most of the supporting ones, even if a few are a little thin.

I am pleasantly surprised to see that Ed Edas has hit ninety sales with TAXING TIMES. It is deserved, of course,  but not all deserving books do this well.

eBOOK READERS

There are several devices on which you can read our ebooks - as well as thousands of others, of course. Here are links to two such readers - the links open new windows so you can open both without deserting me and read about them them at leisure:-

http://www.ebookwise.com/ebookwise/ebookwise1150.htm

http://www.bdsmbooks.com/Paperbacks/kindle.htm

You can copy the text versions of our books to either of these from your computer. They then make backup copies on their sites, so you can read at any time even if you exceed your storage capacity. The ebookwise machine has a built in modem, so if you are away from your computer all you need is a telephone socket, and the Kindle has a free wireless connection that does not even need a hot spot. Kindle also has many extra features, like you can subscribe to newspapers which automatically update. It also costs more! Both available only in USA (Kindle) or USA and Canada (ebookwise) at present, and both are struggling with Acrobat. Those of you using our free bookshelf could download all the books in your library and copy them to either machine. A good reason to start using this free feature of ours? If you use 'Bookshelf' you get the book instantly as usual plus the shelf stores download pages that continue to work, so it's future proof!  (PS You can use the free Mobi creator to convert PDF's to MOBI format, then upload to the Kindle via USB)

Enjoy,
Pentland
