Thanks to the services of BookBaby, the second edition of How to Succeed as a Freelance Translator is now available for the Kindle!. It should also be available in the iBookstore, Sony Reader store and Nook store in the near future. I’m normally a DIY kind of author, but after battling with various flavors of Kindle creator software, I decided that BookBaby’s $200 formatting and distribution package seemed like a good deal. There were a few hiccups along the way, and maybe I’m the last person to know that most e-readers don’t support indexes (?) but I was able to send BookBaby the existing PDF of my book’s content and the e-version looks very nice. I’m excited about this new publishing platform and hoping to get the print and electronic versions of my next book, a compilation of entries from this blog, published within the next month or two.
Congratulations, Corinne! I regularly recommend your book so it is wonderful to know it is now available for Kindle and soon in other e-format.
Thanks Marianne! I did preview the Kindle edition in Firefox (nice plugin for that!) but I don’t actually own an e-reader, so I’ll have to rely on other people to tell me how it looks. Thanks for your support!
Hi! I met you at the Micata seminar. I’m so happy about this because I went to buy your book in Amazon and when I saw that we could request the kindle edition, I did it! I clicked that option and left a comment about wanting it for my Kindle. So now I can’t wait to actually buy it. THANK YOU!
That’s great news, Corinne!
Looking forward to it!
I’m about to go on a long trip to Europe, this will be part of my in-flight Kindle reading! Thanks Corinne
Thanks Martha! Let me know what you think of it!
Certainly a good decision to get it out on the Kindle. I’ve always been sceptical about e-readers. I mean, I read a LOT of stuff on the internet, but I’ll still sit down with a proper newspaper over coffee. But if it makes reading “cool” again, then, why not?
Thank you for your comment! Personally I agree with you; when I’m not working, I would rather not be reading off a screen and I don’t own an e-reader. But tons of people love them, so we’ll see how the Kindle version does!
Hi Corinne,
Your readers can keep in mind that they can read the Kindle version even if they don’t have a Kindle. I downloaded the Kindle app on my Mac, which is free of charge, so I can read Kindle ebooks on my laptop.
I bought a print version of your book a few months ago. Bravo!
Thanks Catherine! That is a great tip about not needing a Kindle; there is also a Firefox plugin (free) that allows you to read epub-formatted books in your web browser. Glad you enjoyed the book, let me know if you have any suggestions for the next edition!
That’s awesome! We must get on this for our own book. Not sure when you find time to do all this! Can we just piggy-back on your research? 🙂 BTW, you are not the last person to find out that e-readers don’t support indexes. I was unaware of this little nugget of info, too.
I’m thrilled that you made it available on the kindle. You’re book has given me the confidence to start this new chapter in my life. Thank you!!!!!
i really like amazon kindle because of its functionality and i can use them most of the time.-
