Have you considered selling "Flowers of Vashoni" on https://www.smashwords.com/ or some other site that would let readers who want a copy in that isn't restricted to a single platform? While it is possible to convert a Kindle to epub it's a hassle
Lois McMaster Bujold
Smashwords apparently has Business Level Issues, that incline my agent to shy away from it. So, no, not at this time.
Meanwhile, I should remind people that Baen.com still offers a number of my e-titles, in assorted formats; folks who care about such things might want to look there. (Not the recent novellas, granted.)
(It often puzzles me why people who have downloaded a story and can presumably thus read it on the spot would wish to convert it, rather than storing it as-is, but that's another religious debate. Having been party to cleaning up the estates of a couple of persons by now, and observing a few more, I will note that nobody is going to want your books after you die, so that reason rather falls down.)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Dear Ms Bujold, I'd like to say thank you for your books! I hope the question hasn't been asked yet, at least I couldn't find it: is the epidemic theme of the new Penric novella chance or do you write that fast? Second question, books remind me sometimes of paintings, yours, especially the novellas, of water-colors. I'm trying to figure out why, is it the story or something like rythm? Wish you a great summer!
