Rolandson Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Is it possible to buy them as digital version? I am from Austria and it would be easier than shipping it to my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentine Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Translated versions of David's books are a bit expensive in Austria but Amazon kindle editions are available most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartSpirit Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I emailed David asking if he would possibly make ebooks for sale on his own site as I’d prefer to buy from him rather than Amazon. This was a couple of weeks ago and still awaiting a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Owl Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Unfortunately I believe Amazon has the monopoly on Kindle books, so I don't think it is possible to buy Kindle editions from anywhere else. To be honest, I've had a Kindle myself for a few years now, and Kindle books are the only thing I buy from Amazon now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, DI's shop should look at offering more than it presently does and ebooks would be excellent to expand the flexibility and readership of DI's work. I do prefer physical books and media, but ebook formats epub, PDF would be great as a choice or to have both ie. ebook and physical. Also foreign language versions are not stocked in the shop and links should be given to order from the publisher, like below. https://www.gruppomacro.com/ricerca.php?search=david+icke Edited June 27, 2020 by Orange Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A possible alternative or addition to Amazon Kindle could be W.H.Smith Kobo books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Owl Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Just now, Orange Alert said: A possible alternative or addition to Amazon Kindle could be W.H.Smith Kobo books. Thanks for that, I was trying to remember what the Kindle alternatives were. I didn't realise that Kobo was owned by WH Smith, I have heard of that one before. Another one that springs to mind is 'Nook'? Barnes & Noble? As much as I would love to just get rid of my Kindle (I really despise Amazon), I have accumulated a small library on it, which I have paid for.

Rolandson Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Don't need a translation in German. There a few Icke books in German but I want all of them. Edited June 27, 2020 by Rolandson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a 'strategic partnership' with WH Smith, amongst other retailers. Further edit: they only have David Icke's first three books available, so no good to me: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/search?query=david icke&fcsearchfield=Author Edited June 27, 2020 by Grumpy Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolandson Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 There are not all Icke books translated in German. It doesn't matter if the book is more expensive than the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ePub format is available for anybody to use. I’ve made my own from text documents in Pages, it’s easy, just Export as ePub. I would love to get DI’s books as ePubs as I read using a Kobo e-reader, if I have to I can buy from Amazon but would rather the payment went direct to DI.

There are applications like Calibre you can use to convert kindle files to standard epub. I use it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
