It’s about high time I finished up my series of blog posts on Advice on Self-Publishing. This is your notice that I will be resuming those posts this week, and in case you missed ’em, I review the links to the previous posts.
I’m dedicating a small post to this just because asked me about this a while back, and I never did answer his comment on that. (Apologies, Glenn!) He asked me at that time: Any word on how tricky it is to get ADE to run with Wine? This is, of course, relevant to my interests! […]
I totally fell over finishing these posts up, but would like to get back to this series of posts now that I have new data to add to them courtesy of my recent iPad. And, conveniently enough, that ties back into the last post I did, which was about how to check out library ebooks! […]
This is part 6 of my posts on how to read ebooks. Here I’ll get into how to check out ebooks from libraries that support that, and what you need to be able to do this. Basically, you will need two things: Adobe Digital Editions, and an account with the library of your choice (which […]
Say you want to get into ebooks but you’re not sure what reading device you want to buy yet. Don’t worry, you’re not out of luck! If you’re reading this post at all you still have the ability to read ebooks right in front of you: i.e., on your computer. This post is all about […]

As of tomorrow I will resume the rest of the ebook posts, though! If you missed the previous ones, here are their […]
This is the post where I get a bit into the agency pricing model, how it’s affected what books you can buy where, and how much you can expect to pay for them.
Depending on where you get your ebooks from, they’ll come in several different and often proprietary formats. If you’ve been an ebook reader for a while, you’ll know as well that several formats that used to be in play have fallen out of favor. It can get pretty confusing pretty fast. So this post is […]
As y’all know, I’m an e-author as well as a voracious reader of ebooks.
