&lt;p&gt;Amazon Kindle will remain the primary distribution avenue for &lt;strong&gt;existing&lt;/strong&gt; eBooks, for now.  (Future eBooks may possibly be released through Ingram.)  Print editions will remain &lt;em&gt;available&lt;/em&gt; through Amazon KDP, but going forward, &lt;strong&gt;their primary production will move to Ingram.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What this means is that it will become &lt;em&gt;very much easier&lt;/em&gt; to get them into physical bookstores.  In particular, even if your local bookstore does not carry Fenian House books at this time, &lt;strong&gt;you will be able to order them&lt;/strong&gt; through your local bookstore from the Ingram catalog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ISBNs for the print editions will not change, and although &lt;em&gt;printed&lt;/em&gt; by Ingram, the imprint will remain Fenian House Publishing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BONUS!&lt;/strong&gt;  I have just learned that I will be able to generate direct purchase links to sell the print editions &lt;em&gt;here, directly&lt;/em&gt;, fulfilled by Ingram.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>Print</category><category>Publishing</category><guid>https://fenianhouse.com/news/print-editions-moving-to-ingram/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:49:22 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Kindle To Offer EPUB3 Downloads</title><link>https://fenianhouse.com/news/kindle-to-offer-epub3-downloads/</link><dc:creator>Sean Fenian</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We at Fenian House hate vendor lock-in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;really&lt;/strong&gt; hate vendor lock-in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a part of why all Fenian House eBooks are published DRM-free.  But that only goes just so far.  Your Kindle book purchases come in Kindle's native file format, which is &lt;strong&gt;horribly&lt;/strong&gt; obfuscated.  Seriously, we could point you at the long post from the person who finally managed to successfully reverse-engineer it, but take it from us, the level of obfuscation is truly Byzantine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, Amazon just announded that beginning January 20, 2026, Amazon will allow titles &lt;strong&gt;published without DRM&lt;/strong&gt; to be downloaded in PDF or native EPUB3 format.  This means you, our readers, will no longer be tied to a Kindle reader app or device; you will be able to download our books in EPUB3 format and read them on any eBook reader.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have just performed the necessary steps to make this happen for all existing Fenian House eBooks.  This is a &lt;strong&gt;retroactive change&lt;/strong&gt;.  If you have &lt;strong&gt;ever&lt;/strong&gt; bought &lt;strong&gt;any&lt;/strong&gt; Fenian House eBook on Amazon Kindle, then starting January 20, the Kindle store will allow you to go back and re-download it as an EPUB3 that you can take with you wherever you go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because at Fenian House, &lt;a class="reference external" href="https://fenianhouse.com/readers"&gt;#WeLoveOurReaders&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>Publishing</category><guid>https://fenianhouse.com/news/kindle-to-offer-epub3-downloads/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Dec 2025 18:59:49 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
