Fame at last..sort of.

[Salty John]

Great excitement as my ebook hit number ten on the Amazon bestseller list. Well, that is: nonfiction> sports,>watersports. But still, fame of a sort.
Of course, by the time you read this it will have slipped back down the rankings because a single competitors book sale has a huge impact on rankings down at this end of the literary spectrum.

Maybe forum power could get it to number one!

I should mention that any revenue generated from book sales go to Leukemia research, so you'll forgive me the plug.

Well done. Up to number eight. Keep it up.

sorry I don't "do" kindle... I am sort of a paper man myself... I take it there is no cellulose version, is there?

 

[Salty John]

No, I'm afraid not. The publishing costs for a paper book would make the cover price prohibitive.

 

[Salty John]

Yay! We just reached No2 on the hit parade. One final push!

Here's the beneficiary charity, by the way: http://leukaemialymphomaresearch.org.uk/

Thank you all - just hit No 1 in watersports. (That's number 8,500 in the overall Amazon UK rankings, fiction and non fiction). Give yourselves a pat on the back.
I'm off to celebrate the occasion, and also Claymore's birthday. 97 today I think he is.

I don't really understand "kindle".
Can you just download the book to a normal computer/laptop etc??

 

[Salty John]

Yes you can. you'll see on the Amazon page an option to download a free piece of software with which you can read Kindle books on your computer.

 

[MrCramp]

Thanks John, I will download it to my new laptop.

 

[FurnitureGuy]

Whatever happens, just getting on the list is achievement! Huge congratulations!

 

[Salty John]

Thanks MrCramp, we need it, we're in danger of falling out of the top ten. Help!
