Ebooks to Keep, Part 1: Patreon

Recently, there was a kerfuffle about Amazon, when the way they allowed people to download ebooks was altered just slightly. (You can no longer download and transfer books via USB.) This led to an Amazon boycott by some, which came on top of a couple other boycotts of Amazon for various reasons.

(And candidly, those boycotts hurt small sellers on Amazon a whole lot more than they do Amazon itself. But I don’t want to get depressing here, so I’ll leave it at that for now.)

Today, I’m sharing both a way to help support me and my work, and a way to get copies of my ebooks to keep — and transfer to other devices via USB if you so choose. 🙂

There are actually two ways to get my books in such a fashion, but I’m starting with how to download them from Patreon if you’re a paid member.

I use Bookfunnel to distribute advance reader copies of books, too, so this how-to would be the same for those.

Enjoy!

Leenie Brown

Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).
