VELVETEEN VS. THE MULTIVERSE available now in ebook!

People of Earth! If you have been waiting for the ebook release of Velveteen vs. The Multiverse, wait no longer! Finally the files are here!

Like the first volume, Velveteen vs. The Junior Super Patriots, the ebook is priced at $9.99. I understand that this is high for an ebook, but a) it's a small publisher trying to recoup costs, and b) all the stories remain free to read online. So please buy the ebook to help me feed my cats, and please don't complain about the cost. If you don't like the price, you can always read the exact same stories here on my blog, free of charge, forever. (The stories as they appear in the books have been edited lightly for continuity, and checked for spelling and grammar errors. They are still 90% the same as they were in their first appearance.)

The wait is over! Let the wild rumpus begin!

ETA: IsFIC is dealing with some technical issues. I will not respond to questions about technical issues. I know nothing of the technical issues. I cannot help you. I'm sorry.

New comment

I've asked our webmaster to help you out with this. The file was ok when I reviewed it using Kindle for Android, but this doesn't prove that everything worked correctly as it moved through all of the steps in the process, from sending it to our webmaster, uploading it to the file server, and then downloading it to you.

So we'll see if we can work with you to figure out what step is failing.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Yeah, I am getting an 'invalid start byte' error for the .mobi in Calibre (on Mac just now).

calibre, version 0.9.28
ERROR: Could not open ebook: invalid start byte
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x84 in position 906: invalid start byte

But once updating to 1.60, it opens now. (The first volume always opened). Will try on actual Kindle shortly :)

ETA: yep, all working on the actual machine. Yay!

Ah! Or maybe not. Still, we'll check.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I downloaded the Calibre e-reader for Windows and the original MOBI is working correctly, so I suspect that there's a problem with the version being downloaded. I will get hold of our webmaster and get a corrected version up there ASAP.

The file I have works in the newest version of Calibre. (Hadn't checked first that there was one). I am assuming it was due to an update in your conversion software between vol 1 and vol 2.
