Some good news to report today:
- MY WICKED VAMPIRE by Nina Bangs is in its second week on the USA Today best-seller list
- Examiner.com called DARK LEGACY by Anna DeStefano the “top genre-bending must-read fiction of the year.”
- $4.99 bargain books are all in one place. And this is good stuff, folks – Lisa Kleypas, Katie MacAlister, Lynsay Sands and more.
A lot of readers have been asking about the availability of ebooks of Dorchester titles. Currently we send files to Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The files are sent at the same time, but I’ve found that generally BN.com has the books available anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months earlier than Amazon. In fact, they currently have the abovementioned MY WICKED VAMPIRE in its digital edition. And DARK LEGACY, for that matter. Amazon hasn’t posted either for Kindle yet.
B&N ebooks can be read on the iPhone/iPod Touch, Blackberry, PCs and Macs. And whatever new device it is that they’re annoucing tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the info, Leah, I think I’m going to email Amazon and ask why it takes so long (will mention their competition being more timely, lol).
I do now have a Kindle, though many readers can’t yet afford one, or a Sony, so that is limiting. Most of us read on handhelds we already own where we can choose a variety of readers. Would be nice down the road to see them at places like Fictionwise or Books on Board if Dorchester has no plans to offer formats at their own site, so more ebook readers would have the choice to read digitally. Reading on the PC vs. using a handheld or ereader of some sort isn’t comfortable for most.

I noticed that both titles, MY WICKED VAMPIRE and DARK LEGACY, are in the Kindle store but shows up as not available for customers from the United States.
