Buy Lovecraft eZine issues for your Kindle or Nook — pay through Paypal!
TEMPORARY PROMOTION: May 4, 2012: Buy all 13 past issues of The Lovecraft eZine for only $5. Click here for more information.
The Lovecraft eZine will always be available for free to read online at this website. The Kindle and Nook versions cost 99 cents. I think you will agree that this is a very small price to pay; the magazine costs me hundreds of dollars a month, so this helps me defray expenses somewhat. I hope you will support the ezine by buying each issue for your Kindle or your Nook.
To get The Lovecraft eZine for your Kindle or Nook, choose an issue — but read the instructions below first:
AUTOMATIC Kindle/Nook subscription (99 cents per month).
After you pay, you will be taken to the download site. If you are prompted for a user name and a password, use “hpl” for both.
(You may have to unzip the Kindle version, before you upload it to your Kindle. As far as the Nook goes, I don’t have one, but I’m told it looks great. If the Nook version requires any special instructions, please comment below and help out others.)
DO NOT close your browser after paying with Paypal because upon payment, it will take you to the download folder. Any problems, email me at michaeldaviswriter@gmail.com and I’ll take care of it immediately.
A big thanks to Cthulhu Chick for creating the Kindle and Nook versions of The Lovecraft eZine!
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!
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.

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!
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.
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.
