So, anyone have a kindle and able to find good books on Africa Hunting? I kind of quickly glanced at what was offered on Amazon.com, but didn't find too much. I was wondering if there might be other locations for kindle purchases on Africa hunting?

Thanks,

Maybe try safaripress.com

Aussie,

I looked there, too, but didn't find anything. Actually, I search for 'kindle' and it turned up 0 results found.

Thanks though,

try this one http://www.wildboarbook.com/

Good luck Dan

I typed kindle safari hunting books in google. Dan

FWIW, I'm just finishing a book about how someone from overseas can operate as a PH etc that will probably be marketed as an ebook.

can i get a kindal with my crayons???????

I'm a recent Kindle convert and I love it. I did the same thing and couldn't find too much in terms of African hunting books. I have, however, read some really good African history and biography books. I'm reading one on Livingstone and Stanley right now that's extremely interesting. The African nuts in those days were alot tougher than we are for sure!

Mate, you've first gotta learn to hold your crayons in your fingers and thumbs instead of your fist!

There is some Wilbur Smith available on Kindle as well. I've already read most of it though...

I travel lots of work and the Kindle is terrific, whole lot lighter to carry than a book and you are not limited to the crappy selection in airport bookstores.

I looked for Cry Zimbabwe recently though and it's not available. I'm off to Zim for the first time in June (a little safari crazy right now).

I'm practiceing honest

When a Crocodile Eats the Sun is available for Kindle and is an excellent read.

for those how have not read his work Wilbur Smith is good stuff.

I'm trying to sell some articles and my books on Kindel. The articles are only .99 and of that I make a whopping .35!

Check them out at

I'd be interested to hear what y'all think. This is new for me.

Gayne, Where do I get the Putin article?

I had a thread about this about 2 months ago. I got some good info, and downloaded probably 15 books for free from some recommendations. Search that thread and there is some good stuff there...

I'm a recent Kindle convert too. I didn't think I wanted one and resisted for a long time, even after my wife got an iPad and raved about it.

Packing for my most recent trip to Africa, though, I had to really watch the weight given a charter flight and toting two SCI Blue Bags along. So I couldn't pack my usual 3 or 4 books. I got the Kindle and fell in love. I'll still buy nice books that I want to leave for my kids, but for paperbacks and just general "plane reading," the Kindle is really the ticket.

I downloaded about 20 books before I left last month. Several Wilbur Smiths (I only read these on hunting trips, to make them last), the Van Buskirk book recommended in this thread (which is excellent) and some military history/memoir type stuff - that new SEAL memoir, for example (which I already bought in hardcover but paid for again just to have on my Kindle).

If you want REAL enjoyment forget the eyesight destoying little e-"pads" and enjoy hunting and African AUDIO books.

Listen to stories the way our ancient ancestors did. Spoken and with spirit!

Safari Press released several ebooks. They are on Amazon.com.

This is the best free resource you will ever find for classic hunting books. Just do a search for Africa Hunting or something similar and enjoys years of free reading. https://archive.org/

Not sure if you can put audiobooks on a kindle or not but Brian Hernes White Hunters is available. It's a fantastic book.

iTunes shows the entire Capstick catalog but not sure if you can transfer them to kindle.

There are lots of African hunting books on the Kindle, especially old classics.

I love them.

Another good source for free books to download is: www.gutenberg.org They have a fair number of books on Africa.

Excellent links. Thanks sheephunterab and Edod.

I love reading the classics on My Ipad because they are free. Use Google play and download WR Baldwin, Gordon Cummins, Livingston, Roosevelt, etc. If you are interested in Kindle books on Southern African wildlife and hunting look up Lytle :A short safari adventure among Africa s thorny bushveld wildlife. Books 1 and 2

Search hunting instead of safari. Capstick, ja hunter, sell us, some Keith stuff, Wayne van zwoll, boddington all have kindle e books.

I have Neumann, Stigand, Nyschens, Selous, Pierre van de Walt, Boddington, Ruark etc.

Takes a bit of searching, have them on the Kindle App on my Ipad too.
