Did you know that the 2020 End of Year E-book Sale starts at Smashwords.com today? Don't miss this opportunity to load up your e-reader or computer. :) You could find your next favorite author. :) People have asked me if they can read these eBooks on their Kindle. The answer is yes! The steps are listed below, along with links on how to read on other devices. Happy Reading!  How do I download Smashword books to my Kindle or Kindle Fire?
There are two options for loading Smashwords ebook content to your Kindle or Kindle Fire: 1. USB Connection. Plug your Kindle into the USB slot (small rectangular slot) of your computer using the cable that came with your Kindle (the Kindle Fire doesn't come standard with the USB cable, so you'll need to obtain the cable separately, or, use the email option described in #2 below). When you attach your Kindle to your computer via the USB cable, it makes your Kindle appear as a hard drive on your computer. After you purchase the book, from the book's book page click to download the "Kindle" .MOBI format. Next, navigate to where you see the Kindle show up as a hard drive on your computer. Next, just drop the book's file (it should end in file name of .mobi) to the Kindle's "documents" folder. Then disconnect the Kindle from your computer and the book will be ready to read. If you already downloaded the .MOBI file to your computer, here's a helpful YouTube video that shows how to drag the file from your desktop to the Kindle's documents folder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UPOgXDYj3M (video not produced by Smashwords). 2.

Looking for a gift idea for a writer you know? Here's list of Holiday Gift Ideas for Writers from the NC Writers Network Blog Have another idea? Add your suggestion in the comments. Happy Holidays!  I friend of mine sent her newsletter with the subject line of Wishing You Enough and it started me thinking. Who else has heard the theme from "I Want It All" too many times? Wouldn't the world be a better place if we just "wanted enough" and were happy with that?  Background on the song: The song was originally recorded by Queen in 1988. "I Want It All" it features themes, including social upheaval and rebellion. Songwriter Brian May, claimed that it was about having ambitions and fighting for one's own goals; because of this, the song became an anti-apartheid song in South Africa and has also been used as a gay rights protest theme and a rallying anthem for African-American youth.3 |
