  • Sifu's books-Kindle

    Robin,

    I see your announcement about this. I'm very excited as I think that you're hinting that Sifu's books are coming to Kindle. This is wonderful.

    I've been using Kindle on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook for some time and I like it so much I just got a Kindle Keyboard and I love it.

    For those who may not know, Kindle makes books accessible wherever you are. Also, if you have a scenario like mine, multiple Kindles, they all synchronize so that wherever you leave off reading on one device, when you turn on another it takes you to right to where you were reading.

    I'm looking forward to the coming news. In fact, I'm sure that all of Sifu's students and fans alike will make sure we buy copies right away so that you and Sifu will be encouraged for making Sifu's books accessible in this way.

    Thanks!

    Great news, this is really wonderful!

    Though I am using a Sony reader (epub format) I will at least be able to read Sifu's books on the Computer (Calibre) ...

      I'm with you, Anthony!

      I love using kindle, on the kindle itself, on my Iphone and on my Ipad. It will be just fantastic to have Sifu's wonderful books with me wherever I go.

      Congrats and kudos to Robin for being in charge of this important project.

          Great news!

          Since the international baggage allowance for flights has gone down, I sadly had to choose only two of Sifu's books to take overseas. This means I will have access to them wherever I go.

          Still,

            This is wonderful news! I have a hardcopy of Sigung's kung fu books which are always a pleasure to read, but some days it seems as though a paper-eating alligator lives in my backpack. Having Sigung's books in an e-format would be great!

            I hope that, eventually, the e-format gets expanded for use on other machines like the Kobo.
            I like making silly videos (including kung fu ones!) every so often on YouTube and taking pictures of weird things on Instagram.

              I was just looking for some kindle copies after his books seemed hard to find a few years back.

              My Art of Chi Kung is still in good condition after 50+ reads over the last 8 or so years (minus some 'dogears' and a floppy cover).

                The Kindle was and is my best material purchase to date. I have literally tripled my reading in half the time using the Kindle, all with less stress on the eyes (since the font is adjustable). Lots of articles which I would otherwise have had to read on the monitor or print out go into my Kindle. With my Kindle, I save loads of paper and trees, and yet can carry hundreds of my favourite books with me everywhere I go, so i read bite-sized chunks whenever I can. Now, finally, Sifu's gems will also be part of my Kindle collection.

                I was going to ask Wei Foong if the books published by Cosmos Publishing (ie, the Complete Book of Chinese Medicine, and Shaolin Kungfu) could be converted into the Kindle format but it is now turning into reality before i did so. This is wonderful news (unless we have misunderstood Robin.....)

                  Calibre is able, IIRC, to convert Kindle books to epub. But not 100% sure.

                  Really good news, so let's hope it can convert them, as I use a different e-book reader also

                    yes, but not with Amazon drm ... - if you have bought a mobi from Amazon you will not be able to convert it, that means: you cannot change your reader system.
                    Hopefully Sifu's books will come in epub format too!

                      Hey Folks,
                      I have a kindle now. And I must say that I love it. And I will love it even more when I have Sifu's books on there

                        Hi Guys,

                        You certainly have not misunderstood me,

                        Some of Sifu's books will be coming to Kindle very soon!

                        I will keep you posted through this thread!

                        Best

                          Please have Sigung's Sukhavati book published on Kindle. I can't find hardcopies anywhere online!

                              Dear Robin,

                              Incredible news for us in Venezuela too, dear SiPak.

                              We live in a society that have no access to Sigung´s books and having them on Kindle will be our way of having access to this magic.

                              May I suggest to have Sigung´s books on kindle also in Spanish. We are pretty sure we can place 500 copies of them.

                              With respect,

                              Tony
