Default SolderSmoke Book on Kindle

I guess to me it's pretty evident that anyone specifically telling you
something is available for the Kindle is looking to sell it, not give it away
(...in which case they could likely just use a PDF).


It's not evident at all to me. After all, it was SPAMed to a bunch of
newsgroups that don't allow sale postings.

As for Amazon, aren't there free books for the Kindle there?


You can read Kindle books on most smartphones, Android tablets, and Windows
PCs/tablets as well. The DRM is definitely annoying, although for a "fun
read" sort of book like this (as opposed to, e.g., a reference text) I could
see putting up with it.


Maybe he just wanted to use Amazon as the distributer, or had a friend in
the Kindle publishing business?
