Nights of the Round Table 3: We have Kindle!

[andpuff]

Thanks to vicki_rae, we have the Kindle link for Nights of the Round Table (e-collection of short stories for those just joining us)

This is Amazon.com - Nights of the Round Table

And this is where I ended up using Amazon.ca which, I think, is the exact same link.  (I don't have a Kindle so I'm not sure about the border issues) - Nights of the Round Table

Not to be a quibbler (which of course means "I know I'm being a quibbler"), but do you have a recent stat for that "unlike most of North America" statement? Living in Colorado, after living in Montreal, and having family in Mexico, I can't help but wonder if that's changed in the last 20-30 years or so. Seems like more of the people I encounter than not can read in 2 or more languages. We're a continent of immigrants and nomads again, and while the Canadian population is only a drop in the bucket, I think the federal bilingualism requirements have made a difference too. Of course there's "read, functionally enough to get by", and "read fluently for enjoyment." But still.

And from the other side of the pond - "read in at least two languages" probably disqualifies most of the English.

That's why you have your own special amazon. :)

Nope, like you I have only anecdotal evidence which is very geographically determined. I know nothing about Colorado (I've only ever been to Denver)but Montreal is probably the most bilingual city in Canada (although I suspect parts of Acadian New Brunswick would give it a serious run for the money)(go NB!). I do know that no one I knew in Toronto who was not themselves an immigrant read for pleasure in more than one language (a number of the 2nd generation could "manage" reading in a second language)and no one I know where I am now reads in more than one language.

Whereas, in both Italy and Germany I met a lot of people who read comfortably in English and more than one writer who can create in more than one language. Many European countries don't bother with translations and bring in English editions. Thus, my personal perception is more people in Europe than in North America read in more than one language.

But I have no actual numbers and I'd certainly love to be proved wrong!

Just picked it up for my Nook at B&N:)

Yay, downloaded!

The Kindle site only exists on Amazon.com, any .ca links just redirect there. Electronic books don't really need to worry about shipping. :)

Though I suspect that someone's working on a way to stop electrons moving across an international border...

Whee! It is downloading to my kindle as I type. :-)
