Help with short stories that is. This Mayday, May 1, 2010, Edward G. Talbot is formally launching two ebook collections of short stories, for 99 cents each. A Funny Pair of Shorts contains three humorous shorts, and A Horrifying Pair Of Shorts contains three horror stories, including two never before published in any format. |
Read A Sample You want to check it out first, right? at either Smashwords or the Kindle store, you can sample the beginning of the first story, but here on the site, you can actually sample the beginning of each story in a pdf:
- Sample the Funny Shorts

E-Books
What format do you recommend for people who don't want to do PDF's but actually want to read the story?
My favorite format is epub
I downloaded a copy of Adobe Digital editions (free software from adobe's site) and it will read epub very well. I agree pdfs are no fun to read.
I actually broke down and got a kindle a few weeks ago, so I often get books in that format now. And actually, the Kindle for PC and Kindle for Mac software are pretty good for reading books to, so if you want to try those out, you can download them from amazon and then get books in either kindle store or Smashwords.
Hope that answers your question. If you have any follow up questions, I'd be happy to answer them!
I am immature
Usually when a man asks me to help him launch his shorts, this is not what he means.

yeah, you and me both
That's why I was so subtle about it. No innuendo at all. Hell, you gotta be really smart to even get it :)
Thanks for stopping by!
