I note that Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen is available for pre-order on Amazon (done), but no Kindle version. Is a Kindle version planned? I haven't quite given up on "real" books (I still get hardcovers from my favorite authors, among whom you are included) but my preferred method of reading these days is on my iPad. I don't process verbal communication very well, so audiobooks are of no use to me.

Yes, I was told the e-version is supposed to go up at the time of its release. I do not know why there is not a page or pre-order option for the e-book. So, Real Soon Now, but not quite yet. (The e-version will also be available at www.baenebooks.com , when the eARC comes down.)
A bit later: I asked of Baen, and got this expansion:
"The ebooks do not go on sale on Amazon as pre-orders. They are all put up on the 16th of the month prior to publication.
It is available now as a partial at Baen Ebooks, so your readers can even get started if they want. The entire download will become available on January 16.

All ebooks purchased at Baen Ebooks are perfectly capable of being read on the Kindle. There are various ways to do it, but the easiest by far is just to use the book’s sales page to email it to your Kindle. I am a Kindle guy, and I do this all the time. There are instructions there on the page when you sign in with a Baen Ebooks account. It’s very easy to do.
Otherwise, the ebook will be for sale January 16, 2016 on Amazon and other ebook sources including iBooks, Kobo, B&N, etc."

Lois McMaster Bujold:
How do your family and friends relate to you and your writing? I imagine they would enjoy a special understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and values from reading your work. For instance, my wife and I have both completed the Vorkosigan saga and I've taken to quoting to her, apropos of family matters, "all true wealth is biological", which benefits from what we've both experienced in the novels.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
When asked "what is your favorite series," I do have ones within genres, but none overall because it's apples and oranges to me. That said, "Vorkosigan Saga" is my favorite Sci-Fi series, and if pressed on a favorite author, your name is the one I give. I simply love your flavor of storytelling. Obligatory fanboying out of the way, do you have any advice on writing stories for us who are woefully inexperienced?
