I have recently purchased a few electronic chess books - mainly to read at work (When at lunch I should add) whilst listening to music
I have noticed that ebooks from publishers such as Gambit and NIC seem to be considerably cheaper than the printed versions but ebooks from Everyman don't follow this trend
They are in general only very slightly less expensive than the 'real' versions - is there a good reason for this, other than profit margins?
I can't comment on Quality Chess, because sadly, I don't think they have any kindle friendly books
Kind regards
Trefor

Re: Cost of Chess Books on the Kindle
Hi Trevor,
Have a good look at yourself and throw that thing in the bin.
You are going to be sitting there reading an electric book, listening to electronic
digital music, analysing the game on a phone app and smoking an electric cigarette.

Don't worry Jeff,
That won't happen I haven't yet found an electronic match

Re: Cost of Chess Books on the Kindle
I would like to thank John Upham for pointing out the availability of British Chess Magazine - have just downloaded the March 2014 edition

Re: Cost of Chess Books on the Kindle
I can’t really get on with kindle Chess books, I find it too fiddly to find the section I wish to study. Now some sort of app where you could actually move the pieces on the board, similar to the CD-Roms from Fritz, that would be amazing.
