Two years ago, I started converting my published and studying materials into electronic books that I thought would be great to read anywhere, on any mobile device, on the internet, offline, etc. The eBook format seemed to be a natural fit, and I have been uploading my content on Amazon, with some samples on this blog, on my YouTube channel, and on Kobo. The project turned out “a bit” more ambitious than originally anticipated, but it has been a great learning experience so far.
The table below summarizes roughly the amount of content in each book, and should give you an idea what book you might be interested in. As I continue to tweak the process, I’d also like to hear your thoughts on the format, content, pricing, and really anything related to these books.
* Training positions typically also contain annotations and are computer checked for accuracy.

Hi, I am currently restructuring my opening repertoire - switching from 1. e4 to 1. d4.
ReplyDeleteThe Slav Exchange is one variation I plan to play, so I bought your e-book about it and I like it very much. It is just what I wanted. Explanations of the potential plans, great and interesting model games, puzzles and I also like that you didn't put in a jungle of variations.
About the format: I think the kindle-format works fine. I loaded a kindle app on my tablet and the tablet in combination with a real chess board works perfect.
The price is also very fair.
regards
Andy
PS: If you had an opening book about the Torre I would buy it immediately.
Andy, thanks for the detailed and positive feedback! Good to hear how people read these books in the real world. The tactics books are intended to be used without the board, but I myself would want to move the pieces when reading the ones about the opening and endgame. No Torre book planned just yet, but I do have one in the works about the various lines of the Open Sicilian, aiming to get it out some time early next year.
