Julie Czerneda answered Metaphorosis's question: Any chance of making the Imaginings e-book edition available at Kobo (or other than Amazon)? Absolutely!! Roger's going to upload the e-book on every platform we can, starting with Kobo, in March. Sorry it's been a while but we/me was tied up with that other project. But that's the one we're jumping on now, so great timing to ask. Julie
