His Kindle is on the ground.
e-book, which released earlier this week. You don’t have to dig into the ground to buy it*, since it can be unearthed on Amazon and read on your Kindle. If you think about it, downloading an e-book is as opposite of shoveling into dirt as you can get…but the real issue on hand is why you hate shoveling so much.
The cover was created by one Ravven. Go ahead and savor the book’s good-loookingness. Also, read it—I mean, why would you not want to read a book of short stories with titles like “Father Fayad’s Curious Compatibility Projector”?
Oh hey, since you randomly brought up e-book formatting, if you have a manuscript in need of such a rendering, consider hiring me for all of your formatting needs. I will work for pancakes**, which is a fancy way of saying, “probably below market rates”. Amazon seems to be growing a complicated set of requirements for formatting for Kindle, I guess because Kindles are getting more advanced and getting wise to things like HTML.
For reference, besides Subterranea, I’ve formatted Mike’s other e-book, Winterland
* Pun intended.
** I will not work for pancakes.

I have to ask–now be honest, even if those pancakes are looking really yummy–couldn’t I just figure out the formatting on my own? Or is it that complex? I’ll be self-pubbing just as soon as I never finish those edits.
Yeah you definitely could figure it out on your own. There are some things (intro pages, table of content, etc) that I think are required by amazon but you usually don’t have in your manuscript really. Depending on what you want to do you might need to convert to HTML so it’s acceptable to Amazon’s validation. Most people could get by, by themselves, without a whole bunch of jiggering. Depends.
