I have been debating getting a Kindle. I work with books everyday—I feel as if I would be cheating on them. What if they found out? And my son works in a publishing company in which he’s responsible for getting books printed. If I were to buy a Kindle, would he be out of a job?
I got an e-mail from a Guideposts reader about five months ago—she wanted to know if Daily Guideposts was available in a Kindle version. She is vision impaired and loves her Kindle because she can control the size of the typeface.
As a reader and an editor, I knew I would have to swing into action. To remedy her immediate problem, I e-mailed her files that she could download into her Kindle.
Then I figured out what to do to make more books available for our readers. It’s not as seamless as it would be if I were savvy, but with a little help from many friends, Daily Guideposts 2010 is now available as a download from Amazon. And to make me even happier, I got an e-mail from a different reader asking if it were available in Kindle and I was able to say yes!
And now I’m on a mission to make as many of our titles available to all those readers who have a Kindle. More books in more hands is my motto.
And I’m pretty sure I’m getting a Kindle for Christmas. Have a great holiday and a wonderful reading New Year!
