I have enjoyed reading and collecting most of your books, especially the sharpe, arthur, grail and saxon series. Due to a stroke I now have difficulty holding conventional books and now use a Kindle device, which is easier to hold. However to my surprise I find that two of the sharpe books (sharpe’s sword and sharpe’s siege) are not available in this format. When I contacted Amazon they blamed the publisher. Can you please shed any light on this matter and if there are any plans to make these books available. Thank you.

Greetings Bernard, I have all the Sharpe Books at home, and always take two or three away on holiday with me. i now have a Kindle, on which I have downloaded all those available i.e. up to Sharpe’s Company. When will the rest of the series be listed. Many thanks for giving hours of continuing pleasure in my dotage. Kind regards Bernard Darby

Hello Bernard! The Sharpe books are excellent, well done. However, I’m a frustrated Kindle based reader! I have enjoyed the Sharpe series until I went to download and read Sharpe’s Sword…and found it’s not available for UK based Kindles! >From a search on the web, it seems other UK Kindle owners have moaned about this since at least February 2011. Oddly, it’s available for USA Kindle users! Any chance you can give your people a nudge to investigate this? It’s a huge disappointment to find the whole Series is not yet available…reading 13 books and finding the 14th is not available, but the 15th and others are, is exceptionally frustrating! I don’t want to skip a book, and would rather not buy a paperback if I can help it. I do therefore appreciate it’s available as a book, but once reading the series on Kindle, and having spent a small fortune downloading and reading 13 books, so far, at £4.49 a time, you may appreciate the frustration at finding that one (or more) books are not available. The books are excellent. Thus, for the benefit of your UK Kindle based fans, any help or pressure you can bring to bear to speed up Sharpe’s Sword onto Kindle would be appreciated. Not a problem of your making I do appreciate, but it’s one I suspect you may not have been aware of. I’m now faced with the prospect of having to switch to another author while I wait for Sharpe’s Sword to appear! Which could take weeks…or months. :( Cheers, Keith.
