Looking for Beta Testers for Kindle/Mobipocket/Palm/iPhone eBook

This has been simmering on the back burner for a while. I’ve put together a digital, open-ebook (OEB) version of The Conscience of Abe’s Turn. I have tested it, of course, using the Mobipocket Reader for Windows, but I can’t test it with handheld ebook readers that support this format, because I don’t personally have access to them.

In particular, I need to test with the major handheld devices that Mobipocket Reader supports:

  • Palm OS
  • Blackberry
  • PocketPC
  • Symbian

If you have one of these devices and you’d like to read (or at least to flip through) a free copy of The Conscience of Abe’s Turn (Season 1, Volume 1), please comment here or email me, and I’ll have a download link sent to you.

I’d also love it if someone could test with the Amazon Kindle. As I understand it, you simply have to upload the file to the Kindle using a USB cable, but I don’t know anything about the process. In particular, I’m a little unclear as to whether the ebook must have DRM in it. (My ebooks are not DRM-crippled, because DRM causes more problems than it solves, and it doesn’t even stop copying.)

    Hi. Good to hear that you yourself put up a ebook. But instead of goind through the hassles, You could have reached ebookconversion.com. They convert your files to kindle and mobiocket within no time tht too with 100% accuracy. They also take up the job of giving you a temporary login on amazon kindle so that you can preview your book on a simluated kindle device.

    I was searching for Kindle publishing information and ran across your post. I”m sure you took care of this a long time ago. If you’re looking for conversion or testing in the future, I’ve had really good results personally from http://www.ebookconversion.org. They really took the time to format and convert my books to my satisfaction. They also include testing on all devices you specify.
