• A lazy dog is a slow pup.

    From August Abolins@2:460/256 to All on Thursday, March 10, 2022 23:09:08
    Hi All...

    A lazy dog is a slow pup.

    A slope up is an inclined plane.

    An ink-linked plane is a sheet of writing paper.

    Therefore, a lazy dog is a sheet of writing paper.

    You mean, "I've Baen invited.." ! :D

    Congrats! Are you two developing a new series, or will it be a
    continuation of an existing storyline/characters but with your
    assistance?

    Sounds like the Bean'ginning of a great relationship.

    Well if you got a direct invite, just grab it. It seems it is the only way of getting something published with a serious house these days. I don't think slush piles are any good as of today.

    Have you tried loading an .ePub file to see what happens? Does your model support it?

    "EPUB is a common ebook format around the web, but the Kindle can't read it natively. That's okay; you can convert . epub files to Mobi files for the Kindle to read. The key is a free piece of software called Calibre."

    Do you have a laptop that you can use in conjunction with you ereader? Install Calibre, and the you can convert .epub files to .mobi, and transfer those the ereader.
