What's it all about?

In Summer 2009, Andy Allsopp participated in LEL: A 1400km international ultra marathon cycling event, played out between the capital cities of England and Scotland.

In early 2010, a record of his attempt was published as a paperback, now made available through Amazon UK (and US), or worldwide through LULU.

Now available for iBooks (no, really, check the iBookstore!)

Well, that was an interesting 7 weeks. I submitted BarringMechanicals to Apple's iBookstore, having spent a few days marshalling it into ePub format, adding a further reading section, and neatening up the HTML formatting. I got a mail back saying it would be reviewed for acceptance, and that submission was not a guarantee of placement.

Nothing heard. Weeks pass.

Then today, I get a mail from lulu summarising the month's royalties, which I note includes 2 copies for the iPad. Without an iPhone (iOS4) or iPad, there's no way I can check this, but if its been plucked from the digital shelves, presumably it must be up for grabs.

So, go have a look. You should be able to browse direct from your device.

    Wow, this is really taking off!
    Congratulations!

    We ordered a couple extra copies and the recipients enjoyed the read too!

    @Telemark:
    Congratulations! You're the first to ever comment on the blog. I was wondering if it was just little old me out here :)

    Is it not available properly for Kindle yet? The prototype copy reads ok on mine.

    Sorry Mart. Amazon were being odd with my account, and then I managed to get locked out forever more. I've actually found the mail of the prototype, and read it on my Kindle recently.

    I might set up a new account and start trying to offer it again. No idea why Amazon make this so hard.
