Jo Walton's Lifelode is now available as a Kindle book
Sometimes coincidence works very pleasantly.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided a wanted to reread Lifelode. I own the print book, but the text is just a bit small for my aging eyes, so I checked if there was an e-book version available for a reasonable price. There wasn't one listed, nor was it available from the library in e-book version. So I figured that it had just never happened, sighed a bit, and went on.
Several days ago, I bought something from Amazon and said that I didn't need it in a hurry, and was willing to wait, for which Amazon said it would give me a $3 digital credit.
Yesterday, the digital credit notification showed up.
Today, the package arrived. And since I have a bad habit of forgetting to use credits, I pulled up Jo's list of books at Amazon, intending to pre-order her forthcoming book Or What You Will. But instead, at the top of the list, was Lifelode with a $2.99 price tag and a publishing date of March 24, 2020 by Is There A Green Iguana? So I now have a $.01 credit at Amazon and a copy of Lifelode that I can read in whatever size and font I want.
And I'm posting about it, since I assume I'm not the only person who is very pleased with this opportunity.
(The icon above is the "F" one I received from Jo a few years ago. I don't use it often, but it's certainly appropriate here.)
