With all the talk of epublishing in general, I figured it was time that clever kobolds figured out the Kindle. I’m happy to say that as of today, all three Kobold Guides to Game Design
Better yet, if you have a Kindle, you can pick them up for the Kindle-standard price of $9.95. I know, I know, it’s a bargain, and it probably won’t last that long, but consider it a gift for those early adopters who have picked up
It’s also possible to get Kindle content on PC or Mac, of course, using the Kindle for PC and Kindle for Mac options.
It would be great also on Sony Reader format :-D
One new technology at a time…! But yes, ultimately I’d like to make these books available on Kindle, iPad, Sony Reader, MobiPocket, etc.
Wolfgang,
iPad owners need not despair! Amazon Kindle books can be read on an iPad with a free application.

Amazon doesn’t see itself in hardware competition with Apple, so they’ll sell their books on either platform.
Now.. speaking from experience a Kindle book looks like a Kindle book on an iPad.. as opposed to the iBooks which look kinda snazzy and support color graphics. (iBooks also has a tiny library in comparison). But hey.. it’s not like you can’t read it and enjoy it as much as the Kindle folks.
Says I, as an iPad owner.
Very cool! Thanks for pointing out that free app.
Awesome to see, wished I had known earlier, I can’t afford to grab any of them yet due to the PDF purchase.
The guides come up with a price of $13.74 in the iPad’s Kindle store. :-(
Apple’s taking their cut I guess. :( Still cheaper than the current price at Drive Thru.. I think.
HUH.. I just bought Volume 3 from the iPad Kindle store.. Cost me $9.95.
Not sure what’s happening when you shop MJ.
Yep, should be priced at $9.95 in the Kindle store. I have no idea where the $13.74 price comes from…
well I finally got to sit down and try to start reading it on my Kindle but it seems to have suffered horribly in the conversion.
