I was pleased to find this after Yada's mention of it last Shabat show I think. It did cost $1.99, but find the value of having YY made so portable and easy to use. Text to speech is useful for many narrative sections, but find I need to stop and really study the amplified translations, but overall find this very helpful.

Any word on when ITG may be available?

Also will we need to repurchase once the unfinished chapters are added?

I agree with you on the ease of use. I read YY 10 years ago on my palm pilot with a free reader app and a self-published file. Thank Yah for phablets, cause my eyes won't read a size 6 font anymore. Hope you enjoy it, let me know of any functionality problems.

Not sure about ITG. Now that I have the process down it shouldn't take too long. It just gets a little tedious replacing all of the ancient fonts. I think I found the solution to the shadow images on the ancient letters, so hopefully I can clean up YY if it works.

I need to check into how book updates work. My assumption was that it would be a free re-download, but I don't think it actually said that. I will repost when I find the answer.

Finally! An introduction to God and Questioning Paul are kindle published. My apologies for taking so long in getting this done.

Same deal as Yada Yah, $1.99 gets you a fully functional kindle copy of each title. This is the lowest price Amazon will allow. My royalty is 35% which is $.70 per copy (less for international sales). Amazon pays out royalties when $100 is accrued, so I don't see a dime until about 150 books are sold. With the addition of ITG and QP I may get to the $100 mark and then I will have the problem of figuring out what to do with the money. As with everyone else involved with YY I have no interest in profiting from this, my only intent is to make these books accessible. I am endeared to the format as this is how I first read YY (on a phone app not quite kindle)10 years ago.

As to updates to YY and ITG, IF Yada ever returns to these books I will update them, but at this time that looks doubtful. ITG is missing a couple of planned chapters, but they were to be rewrites of existing YY chapters and so the information is available there.

For those unfamiliar with Kindle, it is an app that allows you to convenienetly read on most electronic devices. Free kindle apps can be downloaded for your computer, tablet or smart phone. Kindle allows you to have the app read the book to you; you can make bookmarks; you can insert notes linked to a passage; it marks and opens to where you left off in your previous session.



****JB, could these be added as a new topic in announcements? It gets lost over time here. Thanks****

If you really must read from paper, YY, ITG and QP are now available on Amazon in 9”x6” paperback format!

Last summer I finally got a royalty check from Amazon for YY kindle books. That represented roughly 140 kindle versions purchased. I hadn’t checked in on my publisher’s page in a while so this caused me to do so. I was surprised to see that Amazon now has a paperback print on demand service. This service allows me to offer the books in paperback format with no upfront costs. I now have all three books available and have purchased the set for myself. The quality seems to be very good although I admit I have not put them through any strenuous use.

The downside is that because of the size of these books the cost is high. With these paperbacks Amazon did allow me to price the books at cost, so I will make NO royalty on these at all. Pricing is determined mostly by page count. Here is the pricing breakdown:

YY Vol 1.......$15.22
YY Vol 2.......$16.58
YY Vol 3&4.....$14.66
YY Vol 5&6.....$11.36
YY Vol 7.......$13.36
ITG ...........$16.64
QP ............$16.78

I have made these available in print because I don’t think the internet is going to be available forever. If you have an idea on how to effectively distribute these let me know. I’m not sure if they will take them, but I will probably buy a set (with the kindle royalty check) to donate to my local Public library.

IHN,
What chapters are included in VOLUME 1, of OBSERVATIONS FOR OUR TIME?
Thanks
RJH

Ordered two books from Amazon, QP and OFOT on Friday, and they arrived today. All books are available free online, but I like hardcopies in my hands.

Thanks again for your help
RJH

I just realized that I received a defective printing of Observations from Amazon. In the middle of the book a few pages were misaligned and were attached to the binding crooked causing them to be loose and pushing the text beyond the edge of the trimmed page (cut off a small amount of text). I just ordered a free replacement copy (to be delivered by the 21st) and printed a free UPS shipping label to return my defective copy (must be returned within 30 days).

If you have found and printing defects and wish to get a new copy the return process was free and very easy , just find your book purchase in your Amazon orders and follow the prompts.

While this is the first issue I have found with about 15 YY book orders, please check out your book(s) and let me know if you find any problems. I will address it with Amazon if it defects appear to be frequent.

Thanks
Allen

Ahead of my promised schedule, Observations For Our Time Kindle Edition is now available on Amazon. Also, when finishing the publishing process I was allowed by Amazon to price the book at just $0.99! (They also have a new pricing study (that I didn't bother looking at)which I presume shows that at a lower price point you sell more books.) I really didn't care about the study, was just happy I could drop the price point.

My next step was to return to the other published YY Kindle books and reduce them to $0.99 , with the exception of YY ...A Conversation With God which was still had a minimum price of $1.99 . (It is really 7 books in one).

OBSERVATIONS FOR OUR TIME VOLUME 2 PRINT AND EBOOK ARE LIVE ON AMAZON!

Thanks Marse

I am pleased to announce that the new Written In Stone book that Yada alluded to in the last shabat show is now live on Amazon.

This is an excerpt of the Volume 5 Mitswa portion of the already published Introduction To God. My intention for this book was for it to be used as a relatively inexpensive handout to friends and family who are searching to find God. The well known text of the Ten Commandments is a perfect the perfect subject matter to spotlight Yada's work and the truth hidden by the traditional versions of God's Word.

Truthfully, I was blown away as I read Yada's rewrite of this translation. I haven't experienced this hunger to read Yah's Words since I first found Yada Yah so many ears ago. I know Yada is planning to update the ITG website, but hopefully JB will be able to add this text to his site sooner, so you can experience it yourself.

For those who want a personal printed copy or more to share, they are available today on Amazon. As always the books are priced at Amazon's minimum, which means there is no royalty payment to me or Yada. Only Amazon makes money on these books. I hope to have the kindle version ready by next week, which should retail at $0.99 (also Amazon's minimum).

An Introduction To God, Observation Vol 1 and Observation Vol 2 print versions are all recently updated with large (ITG Vol 5) and smaller revisions (OFOT Vol 1&2). Ebook revisions will follow by the end of August.
