On-sale is in air quotes because it’s free, but we don’t have a word for the on-free date. Ideas that spread are worth a lot–to the community and to the creator of those ideas as well.
But what if there’s no book to buy? We still don’t have a good way to demarcate when a book ends and when something else (a manifesto?) For this project, my goal is to spread the idea, not monetize it. I’ve posted the manifesto as both a printable PDF as well as a PDF you can read on screen and as an ebook (in both sideloading Kindle and ePub/Nook format).
Mechanics (wins and frustrations): I wrote the manifesto in Nisus, a fabulous word processor for the Mac. To create the printable PDF, all I had to do was change the styles, add a footer and “save as PDF”. Creating the ebooks was a little trickier. Digital Handwriting With a Smartpen or Stylus.

Amazon Launches Kindle Singles, Saves Long-Form Journalism | Epicenter. Amazon has launched Kindle Singles, one-off pieces of non-fiction and journalism which are typically much shorter than a novel, but longer than a magazine article. The Singles can be read on any of the many Kindle platforms, from the Kindle itself through smart-phones to Amazon’s desktop Kindle client, and they are priced accordingly, from $1 to $5. Long-form journalism has seen a surprising revival in recent years, with services like Instapaper and Read it Later allowing you to push longer articles off to mobile devices – like the iPad – to read later.
Disproving the typical thinking that web users want their information in small, easy chunks, sites like Longform.org – which curates more in-depth stories – are flourishing. Kindle singles will typically run to between 5,000 and 30,000 words, the no-man’s land between a magazine article and a short book. Lifted is also the product of The Atavist, a small new publishing house dedicated to long form journalism. See Also: Sigil - A WYSIWYG ebook editor.
