1. Hi Mike – just wanted to say that after reading my first purchased Kindle version (#8, 2011) of your mag that I loved it. Thank you very very much for poring over (hopefully) many submissions and bringing us the best in new Lovecraftian fiction. Barring unforeseen circumstances I will buy this monthly. BTW the setup and presentation for the Kindle was excellent. Thanks as well to CthulhuChick!

2. Thanks for making a recurring monthly subscription. I, like most people, don’t always remember to download all the podcasts, video blogs, ebooks, audio rants and whatnot that I watch and listen to every month. It’s totally worth the small price of .99 to have your fantastic magazine magically appear on my beloved Kindle once a month.
   Thanks so much for all your hard work.

3. Hi Mike, I’m going to go for the recurring subscription, but also offer a suggestion: When you get a dozen issues, it would be nice to sell them as a collection which you could do every year end (as the next dozen come out) and that way people wouldn’t have to go back and make 12 separate transactions if they wanted to go back and catch up. This would be especially helpful when new discoverers of the zine come along and want get the collection.

   Cheers and best as always,

   • That seems like a great idea!

4. Any chance it could be made available through the kindle store/amazon? I see amateur works in there all the time, so there must be a way to upload it. I just don’t have absolute faith in PayPal’s security. I mean they basically have a huge target painted on them because of their sole business model, and I trust Amazon’s engineer’s much more, given the elegance of their PaaS offerings.

   • Yeah, that would be much better. I’m looking into that and I hope to figure it out and have it done within the next couple of weeks. I’ll be glad, too, because Paypal takes fully a third of the price of each issue. Wow.

     • Excellent! When you do, I will most certainly be a subscriber. Really enjoying your work…

     • While I would also love the ease of buying through Amazon, so far as I am aware for $1 Kindle ebooks, Amazon would only give you 35% of the sale price – i.e. 35 cents.

       Perhaps it would still be worth doing as an option, (while retaining the existing purchasing method), but I guess you may have to charge more through that route. Still, even if you had to charge $2.50 it would hopefully bring new readers and purchasers to the ezine who were not aware of it until the Amazon exposure.

5. I don’t have a Kindle, but download from amazon ebooks into kindle app that is on my laptop. If I buy the $5 special for Issue 13+the previous issues, does it work the same way where you will download and it goes into my laptop so later I can transfer to a Kindle that I hope to buy at some time? Am I making sense?

   • Correct. When you get your Kindle, you can just attach it to your computer, and click and drag the files to your documents folder on the Kindle.

6. So, when will #14 for the Nook be available?

   • It’s available now. A few days ago I asked everyone who has a subscription to email me. But thanks for the reminder, I need to post the Nook version so that people can buy it. I’ll try to do that tonight.

7. Although I’ve read some of the stories in the Lovecraft eZine online I decided to take the plunge and have just downloaded them all onto my kindle. I’m looking forward now to a nice long Lovecraftian binge!

8. I’m getting a kindle this week ..the basic one … your ezine will be on it

   • Thanks!
