Tides From The New Worlds: Now on iPad and Kindle

The eBook edition of Tides From The New Worlds has been live since last month. The launch price is $2.99. Today marks the release of the iBooks ePub version for sale (for your iPad, and next week, iPhone, as iBooks hopefully rolls out elsewhere). Just search for ‘Buckell’ and you can find me. It’s also $2.99 on the iBooks store.

For those of you interested in an ePub version sold elsewhere, I’m waiting on Kobo. Not sure about Sony Store, still no simple, direct way to do that that doesn’t involve more time than it seems to be worth (though I’m happy to be corrected).

PS: if you’re a reviewer and an eBook reader, and can take ePub or Mobi files and want to review Tides, drop me an email!

    The link doesn’t seem to be working.

    I’m a reviewer but I went ahead and bought the Kindle edition anyway. For 2.99 how can I not support it?

    The same with World Book of SF. If you give out affordable ebooks (2-6 dollars) people will buy them.

    Oops. Fixed.

    That’s what everyone says.

    I’m not seeing very impressive uptake on Tides. 25 sold in the last week of May, 3 so far in June. I’m underwhelmed.
