    Thanks to Tyler for pointing out to me that one of my ebooks was being bootlegged on Amazon Kindle. Five or six years ago when I was much earlier in my studying, I compiled several ebooks so that I would have the material well formatted for my personal use on my handheld devices. I wanted to make them available to others, but I found that unless I placed them "for sale" for at least a nominal charge, I couldn't get them listed at either Amazon or Smashwords. That's why they appear in most cases for free or at most for 99 cents.


    Today Tyler pointed out to me that someone had generated a compilation of two of them under the name "Against the Men of the Crowd" and was charging $8.99 for it. That's not me and I am checking into that with Amazon. All the material in that epub is available elsewhere.


    All my epubs are available on Smashwords at the link below. As soon as I can find the time I will go through these listings and update them, and generate a place where they can be downloaded for free. I had such a link at NewEpicurean.com but I suspect the links are out of date.

    Maybe one day when I have the time I will write something more "formal" and put it out on the stores for a more normal price. But for now I think the material in the existing epubs is still useful, so if you have any trouble locating an epub that you want from me, just let me know.

    I see that for some reason my two epic ( ;) - that's a joke) Catius Cat poems are listed at Smashwords for 99c Not that for those the full text is available for free at catiuscat.com

    Updating this thread -- try this link at Smashwords, and if any of them require a charge, let me know -- all should be free:

    As indicated above the only reason some had a charge associated with them at any point is that I could not figure out a way to get them on the Kindle platform and listed at amazon without a nominal charge.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
