LAST CHANCE: The Kindle edition giveaway for "Hostile Takeover" ends on June 25th. If you're a speculative-fiction fan, you won't want to miss this unique introduction to The Nod/Wells Timelines but don't take my word for it...

An excerpt from Daniel Lorn's Goodreads review of Michael Shotter's story "Hostile Takeover"

Here is a lengthy piece about the latest #enshittification of the #Amazon #Kindle. I've seen articles and YouTube videos speculating about the reason for the removal of the #download option. Most of the reasons just didn't track for me. So I did some digging, and I think I found the real reason for the change. (As always it comes down to money...but not in the way you might think.)

I also wanted to talk (possibly a bit too much) about what this all has meant for me. You might find some of that discussion interesting. There is still plenty more to say, so I will probably write another article about the things that I didn't cover in this article.

Please give the article a #read, and let me know your thoughts on the Amazon Kindle situation, or the situation with #eReaders in general.

So, #Amazon's decision to remove #ebook #downloads on Feb. 26th has had an effect on me that I think is a bit on the surprising side.... Not only did I downlaod all of my books this weekend, but I also downloaded (neaarly) all the books I had on the Google Play Books, and finally got #Calibre working on my system.

I have, however, encountered an odd situation with Play Books that I wonder if anyone has encountered (if anyone is actually using Play Books). The situation: a long time ago (around 10 years), I uploaded a bunch of DRM free ePubs of technical books (mostly O'Reily books) to read on my tablet... It was the easiest option at the time.

Now, however, I can't download them. Whenever I try to download them I get a 404 page from Google. The weird part: I can still open them in the reader both on the web and the Android app.

I wonder if anyone else has encountered this issue, and if they found a workaround or fix for the issue?

Congratulations to my good friend and podcasting partner, Ronald McGillvray, on the release of his new book, "Cutter's Deep," which is now available on most Amazon marketplaces and should be available worldwide very soon.

I had the opportunity to read this excellent speculative-fiction novel (twice) prior to its publication and would highly recommend it, particularly to fans of horror and the paranormal.

Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
