Dorothy Gilman Books Now on Kindle

mrspfans — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 09:55:02 +0000

Good Day Fellow Dorothy Gilman Fans! I was cruising the Amazon site looking for new books to add to my new Kindle Reading Device and came across several of Dorothy Gilman’s books available on the Amazon Kindle Section of the Bookstore! Granted only two of her books have actually been converted to a Kindle Book version however several are being offered as audio book downloads from their server directly into your Kindle Device. How cool is that? Because there is no physical media or packaging involved the prices for these audio books are less expensive than the ones you order on CD or cassette tape (if you can still find them). I was so excited I can’t wait until payday so that I can order my first one. We have added the links to these books on our Dorothy Gilman Bookstore page under the category “Books on Tape/CD/Kindle“.

If you don’t have a Kindle Reading Device yet now is the time to get one! They are offering lower prices on their devices and are even offering a Colored Touch-Screen Version of the device called a Kindle Fire. You can look at one on our bookstore page under the heading “Kindle Devices”. It will not be shipped until the middle of November and as soon as I can afford one I am absolutely going to order one. I have enjoyed my lightweight Kindle very much over the last several months and look forward to using the colored version as well.

Blog Downtime

For those who have recently tried to view the website within the last week or so you may have gotten the message that the account was suspended. That was my fault folks due to recent financial setbacks and the holidays I forgot to include the fee for hosting the blog. I have been paying for this blog for about 7 years now and have enjoyed keeping it going but I need help now and hope you will help me if you can.

I am asking for $1.00 donations through the secure servers at Paypal from members who are able and willing to contribute to keeping this blog going. You can of course send any amount you wish and in any monies that Paypal accepts and they will convert it to US dollars.

We are also still looking for contributors who would like to post their own essays so please use the contact form and give me your subscriber ID and I will make you a contributor. This allows you to make posts to the blog, upload pictures and post your own stories.

We have some very interesting things plan for the coming months for our fellow fans and look forward to hearing from you. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Sadly, there are only two of Dorothy Gilman’s Books that are currently in Ebook form and they are offered by Barnes and Noble. You will need to install their free ebook reader and they can be used on iPhone/iPod touch, Blackberry, PC or Mac from their website.

The first one is for Mrs. Pollifax Unveiled which is the last book in the Mrs. Pollifax books to be released. This story finds our favorite heroine being sent to the desert with her old friend John Farrell to try and find an American Tourist who averts a plane being hijacked and then promptly disappears! You can click on the picture below and be taken to the Barnes and Noble website for each of these books.

MRS POLLIFAX UNVEILED:

The second book available on the Barnes and Noble website in ebook form is the very last book published by our favorite author called Kaleidoscope. This is a continuing tale of the fun and exciting adventures of Madam Karitska and her friend from the police Detective Lieutenant Pruden.

KALEIDOSCOPE:

As for Amazon Kindle they only have one product available and that is the Kaleidoscope Book. Click below to be taken directly to that page to purchase this book:

Remember you can request that each of the Dorothy Gilman Books be placed in Kindle format by going to each page with the book and on the left side of the screen you should see a box that says something about requesting that this title be added to the Kindle line.

We are going Mobile

We are trying something new for this site. Even though we don’t have a lot of postings you will be able to get this site on your mobile phone webpage. I am just learning this new thing and there will be some bumps in the road and we appreaciate your patience. Some things are working fine and other things not so well.

We are still looking for contributors and those who have signed up for it are still more than welcome to post new entries. Anybody out there who has any news about our favorite author? How about pictures or even a fun story to tell? Anybody want to do a review of one of her books? How about writing a new short story with one of your favorite characters?

Get involved and lets make this a great blog!

Cheers!
