Hi, all. Church of Shar, FYI: Ed's "Lord of the Darkways" has been published in a mass market paperback collection (UNTOLD ADVENTURES, Wizards of the Coast, 2011), so it's not e-exclusive.
love,

Thanks for the info  ! I'd actually never looked into the book before now, apparently a few of the stories from the Wizard's Archive are in there.
I'll be removing:
Dreaming of Waterdeep - Rosemary Jones
Lord of the Darkways - Ed Greenwood
Tallfolk Tales - Lisa Smedman
Watchers at the Living Gate - Paul Park
@ I'll also be stopping by the booskhop to pick a copy of this anthology up!

| I think you won't have trouble buying the kindle version from amazon.co.uk. |

| You can download free Kindle reader apps for your Android device, then read ebooks from Amazon. Google won't allow the default Play Store app to be uninstalled. Not all apps will properly display Nexus fullscreen, but many are available. |

Have a try for it! Should work and the novel is 100% worth it! |

Test the app with a *free* Kindle ebook (like Grimm's Fairy Tales or Sun Tzu's Art of War) before spending money. You may also need (or want) to try other Kindle-compatible reader apps, there are many very good ones, also free. Registration or Activation is sometimes required, but don't get sucked into a money trap - if the reader app turns out to be a "trial" which nags or locks your ebooks after some number of uses or days then just wipe it and try another. Whenever you do purchase ebooks or mobile software, be sure to back them up on some other machine (preferably before you install them on your device) so you don't have to ever pay for them again.
There's really no way to be certain which apps are good or bad until you try them out for a bit. You can do your research, but you need a little experience with the topic to accurately sort out which web endorsements and reviews are fake advertising. You can always restore backups, so don't be afraid to play and "screw things up". |

Read a bit about the Nexus, Android apps, ebooks and ebook readers ... there's a lot to be learned about these subjects, far more than belongs in Candlekeep. I recommend you read reviews or user feedback/chatter about various reader apps to see how yours compares (and what you might be able to do to improve or customize it), and learn how to backup data (ebooks, etc) and how to *restore* your backups (actually test and confirm the backup works, because you don't want to discover it doesn't when it's your last hope). Sooner or later your device will die, get lost or stolen, break, drown, or simply become obsolete ... you don't want the only copy of your data to go with it.
Try posting your questions at a mobile device forum (just the first one google spat at me), where people discuss this sort of stuff and probably know all the details about your particular device.
And again - there's so many great free apps (and more every day) that you don't need to buy or subscribe to get one which works. You can always experiment with other apps, switching to a new one whenever a trial period expires on an old one ... never pay for mobile software until you're confident it's the best option for you, because it's a money suck which probably won't transfer to your next device. |
