Thank you, Dave. I noticed a typo and am trying to upload a corrected version, but I'm having hideous trouble with my Internet connection.

If I get a chance to look at it at work, today, I will. If not, I’ll start reading it, tonight. Looks like it might be informative. Dave On Feb 7, 2012, at 9:30 PM, Joe Bauman wrote:

I've posted a book on Kindle (Amazon.com's e-reader) about the American Revolution. A lot of you know that I'm a rabid (that is, way beyond avid) collector of historic photograph. Over the past 30 years, by diligent searching and researching, I have been able to collect eight original daguerreotypes of fully-identified veterans of the American Revolution. I've written a little biography of each, and put them together in this book. It's arranged chronologically, from the man who was first involved in the Revolution on through to the last. Anyway, I won't use more bandwidth except to say if you'd like to take a look, and see a preview, go to Amazon.com and look in the Kindle Store for DON'T TREAD ON ME: Photographs and Life Stories of American Revolutionaries.

Thanks, Patrick -- I don't know enough about the platforms to give an intelligent answer. I'm going to put it on Nook too.

Regarding the book itself, will you be releasing a version for the iPad or maybe something that's cross-platform compatible like a PDF version?

I agree with Patrick, momentous events in the lives of list members are always on-topic... Patrick, there are free programs available to read kindle books on, they have them for a variety of platforms. The website is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_arl_lnd_pop_1?ie=UTF8&docId=10... If my link does not go through, you can go to the Amazon page with Joe's book and it has a link to the free kindle reading apps. Enjoy! Jo Quoting Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com>:

Patrick, Download the Kindle app for the iPad. It's free from the app store, then you can take a look at Joe's book. I switch back and forth between my Kindle Fire and iPad when reading. Dave Sent from my iPad On Feb 8, 2012, at 4:11 PM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
