Hi Nicola,

If you don't want to wait you can read them on your PC using applications such as "Calibre" or "Kindle for PC" but not as portable as a Kindle I'll admit.:D

Fixed in next version (hopefully).


Fixed version is now uploaded.

All those books and not one Peter James:(

I'm looking for a copy of 'Dead Tomorrow' for my Kindle.

I have just looked it up on Amazon and I am sure I saw the cover  when I looked through a list of free stuff I was given.  Unfortunatly it is not well organised like Steve's stuff so don't buy it till I get back to you. will be tonight.:D

I am trying to work out how to share this list.

I've got all Peter James' books in paperback only I'm afraid.  However, I have purchased his new one, Perfect People from Amazon.  Just reading it now.  Totally different but fascinating!  I am totally stupid on working out how to put them into email format.  I will happily add that to this list if there is an idiot guide to do it!

Sorry Stoop I have Dead Simple and Dead man's grip.  The one you are looking for is on Amazon for 4.32.   There is an author Nora Roberts who also writes as JD Robb and the picture on your book is similar to one of hers.
Sorry I got it wrong.

Cheers you two  :)

Ill hang on a little longer.

Lynne - I think you need to plug your kndle in via the usb lead and then open it up like you would with any hard drive attatched (my computer then the drive which is the kindle). Then you can download the book onto your desktop (make a new folder for kindle books). Once you have it on there you can send it to me by email as an attachment I think. I'll send you my email addy asap.

Stoop I am in the process of downloading from the memory stick to the computer.  Can I send it to you to see if it works?
