Now Out on Nook: The Hostage in Hiding

 



The slowest and most bollixed new book launch ever continues, with The Hostage in Hiding going live on the Barnes & Noble Nook site this morning, a mere 19 days after we uploaded it.

Thus far the print editions are easy to find, and are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Powell’s, and, to my surprise, Booktopia, which bills itself as “Australia’s Local Bookstore.”

Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Hostage-Hiding-Henry-Vogel/dp/1958333018/

Hardcover: https://www.amazon.com/Hostage-Hiding-Henry-Vogel/dp/1958333026/ 

Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-hostage-in-hiding-henry-vogel/1141396808

Powell’s City of Books: https://www.powells.com/book/the-hostage-in-hiding-9781958333020

Booktopia: https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-hostage-in-hiding-henry-vogel/book/9781958333020.html

(Looking at that last listing, though, suggests that either the AUD has really plunged against the USD lately or else whoever wrote that listing has mistaken their didgeridoo for a bong.)

The e-book editions, however, remain hard to find. As of this morning it’s on Nook and Kobo:

Nook: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-hostage-in-hiding-henry-vogel/1141396808?ean=9781958333006

Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-hostage-in-hiding

But the one that matters, the Kindle edition, remains stuck in the middle of a turf battle between IngramSpark and Amazon. Assuming things go as promised by IngramSpark the e-book will eventually show up on an astonishing variety of e-book platforms, as listed below, but at the moment, their inability to put the book out on Kindle is… frustrating, to put it mildly.

Out of curiosity: do any of you use any of these e-book platforms, beyond Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and/or Scribd?
