Portland to Portland Published for Kindle

Posted by cyclists

Finally. It took us longer to get this book published than it did to bicycle across the country. 

Thank goodness that bicycling doesn’t involve a Table of Contents!!!!!!!!! 

Portland To Portland

 

Please check out our new book Portland To Portland  

Reliving the details of our trip has inspired us to plan another cycling adventure. Although we won’t have the time to do an extensive tour, we hope that we might do a few tours of a week’s duration. 

At present, we are considering doing the Erie Canal Trail because it has been improved since we last rode on it. Another possibility is the P’tit Train du Nord in Quebec.  

Do consider a Kindle as an item to carry along on your cycling tour. Just think of how many books you can take on your tour without having to worry about the weight.

1. Being at avid bicyclist and with a few tours under my belt, most of my reading is about bicycle tours. I’m just into this book “Portland to Portland” a few pages and can tell you I can experience and feel each and every bump, climb and everything that bicycle touring can throw at you. I relate to lot of Robert and Theresa’s endeavors for I’ve experiences them myself. No matter how much touring one has done, each tour has new surprises, hardships and joys. This story is their story of their tour and I’m sure you will live it with them.

2. Hi,

   I enjoyed your book, it made a sedentary couch potato in his 50′s think that maybe, just maybe, there might be something in this touring thing for him…

   That said, the current Kindle version has a couple of problems.

   (1) The default font is HUGE, the biggest that the Kindle has. You may want to reformat to an in-the-middle font so that more than a single line fits on screen. Yes, people can adjust, but it apparently means having to re-adjust every time you open the ebook.

   (2) The map links. The Kindle brower is HORRIBLE for this, and if one is reading away from wi-fi (me, last night) it just hangs and messes up the reading experience. Simple static inline images would probably work a lot better.

   Anyway, a fun read, thanks for the experience-

   Ed
