Book Ordering Guidelines


 Individuals
To order any Lethe Press title, including books from our imprints, please explore our website and click through to links to booksellers. We encourage you to buy through independent retailers and gay-identified booksellers, such as Giovanni’s Room (queerbooks.com) and TLA Books (tlabooks.com). Our titles are also available through such Internet vendors as Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com

E-book editions of most of our titles are available in a variety of formats (azw, epub, prc, lit, pdb, pdf). Title listings will provide links to e-book vendors…Kindle, TLA Books & Video, LGBT Bookshelf, AllRomanceEbooks.com, 1placeforromance.com, Wizard's Tower Books, Weightlessbooks.com, Smashwords.com and more.

PDF-on-Demand are available directly from the Lethe Press website; click on the orange triangle in the title listing if available. PDF-on-Demand can be instantly downloaded for iPad, Kindle, Nook, etc or computer desktop or smart phones. All titles (and links to PDF-on-Demand) are listed by author name at Our Authors. (Read about how to transfer PDF files to a Kindle.)

PDF book files show the book as it appears in its hardcopy published form (digital facsimile). Such page views show the design work of talented book designers with beautifully styled pages, text ornaments and graphics. However, PDF page files, as you may know, are graphic images, and so text cannot be enlarged and reflowed to fit the screen. Screens on small handheld devices may display PDFs too small to read in normal portrait orientation. Most Kindle and other ebook reader models allow for landscape view which allows PDFs to be viewed at a readable size.  All our books are available from the amazon.com Kindle store in the reflowable Kindle format, as well as from smashwords.com and other digital vendors (listed above). PRC files will display and reflow fine on a Kindle. iPads and other large screen handheld devices will display PDFs fine as well as EPUBs. Most Lethe Press titles are available in the Apple iBookstore, as well as from smashwords and other digital vendors.

Making PDFs reflowable for reading on Kindle devices: You can convert Lethe Press PDFs-on-Demand to kindle format by downloading the PDF to your computer. Then send an email with the PDF attached to yourself at your Send-to-Kindle address [name@free.kindle.com] with the word "convert" in the subject line. The converted PDF will be a little messy with missing drop caps and occasional odd paragraph indenting, but will be readable, resizable and reflowable.
