The Kindle App is Free…
Just a quick mention of something that crops up a lot when I’m talking to people about my writing. “I would really like to read one of your books but the paperback edition is a bit more than I was expecting and I don’t have a Kindle.”
Well, you don’t need a Kindle.
I love Kindles and I wouldn’t be without mine but you don’t need a Kindle to read Kindle books. You can download the Kindle App for free, from Amazon or the Play Store.
Obviously, you will mainly want it for reading my books 😊 but it’s worth having anyway, because there are hundreds of free and inexpensive titles you can download once you have the app installed. You can use a phone, a tablet, a PC, or a Mac.
I don’t care what format you read me in and for the record, I actually make slightly less on a print copy than a download. I cut my royalty to keep the print copies affordable, as I know many people will only buy print books. I have nothing against Kindles personally but I respect the opinion of those who have.
You can download the Kindle edition of one of my books for the price of a posh coffee. Two years work has to be worth as much as an Americano, doesn’t it?
