Abashed Hawking of an eBook

Well, here we go. I know what happened this Christmas. You got one of those neat Kindle thingies or an iPad or a nook or a Sony Reader or another electronic reading kind of device. You got one of those things and played Angry Birds enough to get frustrated. Then you downloaded whatever "Classics" that you totally intend to read. You maybe even polished one of those off as part of a New Year's Resolution to "get cultured." You have Sense & Sensibility and whatever translation of War & Peace you managed to download and they're going to sit there collecting virtual dust because it's hard to get into a Victorian corset or 1800s Russia in the 5 minutes you spend on the toilet. 

I get it. And so here you are. Completely getting cultured is tough. I get it. I've got those same books on my tablet. I've been reading Anna Karenina for a year. 

Those are long books. And you don't have that kind of time.

What do you know? I'm a provider, girl. So I put I Have a Dog Named Gus: Vol. 1: Short Attention Span Literature on the Amazon site for sale as a Kindle eBook. It doesn't even cost a dollar. And it's got a whole bunch of stories from this site and www.danielrobertmaurer.com already in it, so you don't have to deal with Blogger's wonky formatting and being online to read another one. There are a couple new stories, yes. And they are awesome. Or at least I thought so when I wrote them. 

So you want? Great. 

Oh, wait. A Kindle? You don't have one of those? You have [UNDEFINED_READING_DEVICE], which doesn't support the Kindle format. Or you don't like Amazon's business practices. Fair enough. I understand. I can take that. I adapt. Like I said, I'm a provider. 

See, I did not sign up for any Amazon thing that says I cannot provide the eBook elsewhere. I was tempted. Lord yes, I was. But I resisted the devil of Capitalism. Oh yes, I did. 

So, if you are thusly inclined, you can paypal me (at danlowlite@gmail.com) the 99 cents and I will email you the file. All is kosher. Or copacetic. Or whatever. 

And that's all. I'll stop now. 

All right, I feel gross. Time to wash my hands. 


Edit: Yes, I do need a new cover.
