For a few days last week, I was in fact a published editor. Not author, I hasten to add. I had published a ‘book’ to Amazon Kindle.

The Amazon Kindle platform (buy a kindle here, or download the app for mac/pc/iPhone (for free!)…) brings a whole new opportunity for the publishing of content. It’s incredibly easy to use, I managed to publish two sermons by Hugh Latimer as a book to the store with only an hour of work (it took my twice as long to read them). The only problem at the moment is that one cannot ‘sell’ books for free on the Kindle Store, and with what I had published being a public domain work (and only available courtesy of Project Canterbury), it would be lacking integrity to sell it.

Hopefully, I can use this as a proof of concept in a way, to support the publication on Kindle of good christian books that are currently out of print.

And oh, if you have a kindle, or you downloaded the app, here’s Before the Convocation of Clergy by Hugh Latimer
