Does anyone else have a kindle (or tablet pc with a book program) and want to have the BL Books available? Anyone know of any information regarding this topic? I see that there is a tab on Amazon to request certain books in Kindle format, just wondering if priority is given based on popularity or if there is no priority or anything. Just some thoughts, I was curious if this crossed anyone else's mind.

I have managed to "get hold of" digital copies of some of the Heresy books, I own them all in physical form too.

I imagine it may happen one day, wouldn't be surprised if GW decided to move into the digital market for fiction.

But the answer at the moment is not readily available.

Not having a Kindle myself, this may be a stupid question...

...but is the Kindle honestly not capable of opening the eBooks BL publishes on their website?

Black Library sells ebooks now. I own a galaxy tab with both the kindle and nook apps and have the first 10 HH books which open fine in both as you can download ePub (for nook or other ereaders) and mobi (for kindle). They also have a decent ezine (hammer and bolter) with short stories.

You can get them e-mailed to your Pc and then download onto your Kindle...
Or you can e-mail then to your kindle but i'm not sure that works...

You can buy a lot of titles in iBook and Kindle format directly from the Black Library website. I just picked up the entire horus heresy series yesterday for my iPad.

the way i do it is i download the book to my computer then i email it as an attachment to my kindle email. amazon then sends it to my kindle. you can find the appropriate email address on your kindle account

To reply to the whole thread, yes, you can buy Kindle format (mobi) books from the Black Library. You can also just download them to your computer, plug your Kindle into your computer and copy the files into the Documents file on the Kindle to skip the emailing.

What Iskandur siad.

I enjoy reading the Horus Heresy much more on my Kindle now.

You can get the Black Library eBooks here.

For a limited time, you can get some eBundles for Christmas here.
