Sat, 05/03/2008 - 21:24 — admin

HotSpot Confidential is now available for the Amazon Kindle. If you have one of these devices, and 99 cents, you're in luck. And remember: for a limited time only, and while supplies last, your purchase entitles you to a free Fortune Teller Magic Fish.

Unique features found in this edition

  • Hypertext-y design

  • Not ported from any print edition
  • Optimized for the Kindle's muddy 4-grayscale palette
  • Original ebook edition, created expressly for the Kindle
  • Interactive!
  • With real hypertext links, just like the Web*

    Check it out here.

    *caveats

    • It's still in alpha form.
    • As mentioned, it will cost you 99 cents (the minimum charge Amazon allows).
    • With the exception of two (2) links to the Web, all links -- and there are a bunch of them -- are internal. There are good reasons for this**

    **further caveats (or why so few external hyperlinks)

    • The browser on the Kindle is really pretty crude at this point.
    • And do you really want to be hunting around for a strong signal, just to see a website rendered in 4 shades of gray?
