I'll add:

Passionate Ink: A Guide to Writing Erotic Romance (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1596323906/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=390961&creativeASIN=1596323906&linkCode=as2&tag=shereaboo-20)

OMG!!!! This is so wonderful. Thank you so much!

[sarahcb1208]

You are most welcome. :D I've been sitting on the list, and needed to share. Just now remembered to do it.

Great list...not much of a help though for those who don't have kindles...though I know a few of the books can be found in physical form.

[sarahcb1208]

I only linked to the Kindle versions, but MOST of them, when I was searching, had a physical copy as well.
USUALLY, if they have the Kindle version, there's also a Nook version

[mycha-miska.livejournal.com]

You can get a Kindle reader for your computer (Windows or Mac) and most cell phones and tablets if you can't find the physical form. for what it's worth...

[lurkch.livejournal.com]

I just use Calibre and an, er, "unofficial" plugin to convert Kindle books to .ePub. Works fine on my Sony reader.

[sarahcb1208]

I've done that, but reversed. It's not illegal if you bought the books (and you're not sharing :))

[lurkch.livejournal.com]

I only buy ebooks if I know they won't become obsolete with age--and that requires removing the DRM (I have ~50 DRM-ebooks from the early 2000s that I can't read anymore ... yes, still bitter :D).

On a PG-note I'll also add:

First Draft in 30 Days (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1582972966/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=15121&creative=390961&creativeASIN=1582972966&linkCode=as2&tag=shereaboo-20) (it's actually outlining, not writing but still useful--there's a sequel but I don't find it useful)
Between the Lines: Master the Subtle Elements of Fiction Writing (http://www.amazon.ca/Between-Lines-Elements-Fiction-Writing/dp/158297392X/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1351573095&sr=1-9)
Thanks, But This Isn't for Us: A (Sort of) Compassionate Guide to Why Your Writing is Being Rejected (http://www.amazon.ca/Thanks-But-This-Isnt-Compassionate/dp/1585427217/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1351573053&sr=1-1)
