Thanks! I missed page two of this thread on the first read, which had that link.

Most Excellent Runtu! I am dying to read it! The problem is that I do not own a kindle.

Is the story available in any other format? Runtu, could I send you $10 via Paypal for a copy, to be sent via PDF file or some other PC friendly format?

I don't own a Kindle, either. You can download a free reader for PC:

Runtu,

From what I understand of café Press here, the buyer would pay the cost of everything. So you would upload the text and cover via PDF, choose the binding and what have you, and whatever the cost of making is covered by the customer, with some retail added for you and café press.

I've ordered a Kindle (arriving at the end of the month) and I will make this my first book order. I can't wait!

Congrats, Runtu. Hope this book takes off like wildfire. And I'm so happy to see you back on the board.

I'm reading it on my Mac laptop. I downloaded the free application that was linked earlier in the thread, and payed $10 to Amazon for the book. Totally worth it - no Kindle required.

Are Kindles kind of a girl thing? Reading a book on my computer is excruciating for me. Can't wait to curl up with the Kindle! And I justify the expense in that I need it for my tutoring work.

Several people have asked for a print version, but when I tried to publish it a few years ago, no one wanted it, and I doubt things will have changed. I know there are some self-publishing places, such as Lulu, but I'm trying not to spend any money, as Christmas is coming up.I'd appreciate any advice.

I would love to get a hard copy, if you publish one. I read the book on Kindle (and loved it!), but I've always been a touchy-feely kinda guy when it comes to books. Please let us know here if you ever publish a hard copy. Oh ... and again ... well done!

A print edition should be out within a few weeks, hopefully. Just in time for Christmas! ;-)

By the way I was searching Amazon books for something else Mormon related and one of the alternatives it offered was your book!!!
