E-pub question:
« on: 08 May 2012, 06:00:50 »
Can the battletech E-pub books be read on a kindle reader ? or do I have to buy the title through amazon ?

if so, basically, I want a reader where I can purchase and read all my fav Battletech e-pubs on ?

Cheers O0

If you're referring to the Blitzkrieg titles, they're available in both .epub and .mobi. You'd have to check with your retailer (since you say its not Amazon) to see which (or both) versions they sell.
I sometimes write things. Sometimes they're spelled right. Not often.

I've had no problems reading the e-pubs on my nook...

If you order through BC, you get both the epub and the mobi version which should cover you for any ereader. I've had no problem reading them on my kindle 3 or my blackberry playbook.

I'll assume the random letter "u" is a keyboard hiccup...

I mean a Nook, as sold by Barnes & Noble. I bought mine specifically for gaming PDFs, and the e-pubs came out right after. It reads 'em  just fine.
