Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hello! I'm reading the Penric and Desdemona stories and now have to track down the newer ones in ebook form - my library doesn't have them. Are there any non-Amazon/Nook/Apple options for them?
Lois McMaster Bujold
No, those are our only three platforms for ebooks. Given their free apps, they should be available for whatever device you are reading this on, though Nook does not distribute outside N. America. The Blackstone audio editions, however, appear more widely, including in some libraries.
The two, eventually three, Penric collections are also available in the Baen e-bookstore, as a limited exclusive, and I think they do a few more formats. It will be a while till Baen can work around to the newer titles in a collection, though, because Subterranean Press has first dibs for their signed limited editions. (Penric's Labors is tentatively projected for paper publication in December of 2022.)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
So, re-reading Penric, I got to thinking about the problem of demons jumping from humans to animals, and Des' reluctance to end up in a dolphin. Because dolphins are pretty smart, really. And then that got me wondering about how often that Roknari trick with the cushion...backfires. I mean, what if instead of a jellyfish the demon jumps into a passing shark? Or a sperm whale? Not to make any literary allusions.
