These three books have nothing to do with chess. I am reporting this

This one looks tempting, at only $4 a pop. It might become a best seller. I suggest you log in under multiple aliases and "recommend" it with supposedly 'unbiased' reviews, a.k.a. 'shilling'.

RL

Product Description
This is a collection of 40 erotic stories from the Ming Dynasty. The author, Ling Mengchu, lived from 1580 to 1644. Wife swapping has become a popular American pastime and is even more popular in Europe. There is even a Reality TV show about it, although they pretend that there is no sex involved.

However, we are surprised to read these stories in Chinese because we cannot imagine such events going on in ancient China. We did not know that they were doing this in ancient China and they are probably still doing it today.

These stories are so famous that every Chinese person has read them or is familiar with them. Even school girls today read them. Each of these 40 stories is a double story. First the author tells us about how certain people did certain things. Usually, it worked out well or there was a happy or at least an uneventful ending. However, in the second part of the story, from a different time and a different place, different people did much the same thing, and the results were tragic, often involving death, and bad chess being played.

Is that the one in which he said he was abducted by extra-
terrestrials? Too bad they didn't keep him.

In answer to your question, Kirsan wrote and had this book published
before he met with the Space Aliens.

To answer your next question, I requested and received permission from
Kirsan and from FIDE to reprint this book.

Unfortunately, my chess diagrams do not always come out on Kindle.
Some times they are OK, some times not.

Could anybody please check this one to see if the diagrams appear?

Why don't you buy a Kindle, you idiot. Of course, it's going to
look like shit first time around. Just like your web pages.

But even without a Kindle I can predict that the book will be a
best seller because it has new and original puzzles in it,
such as

cuuuuuuuuC {rhb1kgw4} {0p0pdp0p} {wdwdwdwd} {dwdw0wdw} {wdBdndwd}
{dwHwdwdw} {P)P)w)P)} {$wGQIwHR} vllllllllV

I think all real chess players will love it.

He doesn't have to buy a kindle. There's free software to emulate a
kindle on a desktop or even a cell phone.

I should be able to look at my own books on Kindle without having to
buy them. Does anybody know how to do this?

I have Kindle Fire but I do not know how to use it.

I should not have to pay to see my own books.

I am using ChessBase diagrams for Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca in
Spanish.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00887NGGC

I know the diagrams are messed up but I do not know how to fix them.

Somewhere or other I think there is resort to people publishing off topic in newsgroups, which no doubt Sam Sloan will feel victimized by; not that he will see the [amalgam] Poor Ron's Counter Revolutionary Wife Swapping Stories as off topic. No, this is the new future for all of us if Libertarians get into office, so when people talk of the Queen's Indian it will likely be about the questionable behavior where the immigrant is summoned to the Khaleesi, whatever his gender.

I now have 25 books on Kindle. They seem to be selling well.

I published another book today.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008M2I8F2

This is my translation into English of one of the stories by Ling
Mengchu who lived from 1580 to 1644

http://www.amazon.com/dp/4871872122

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/product.aspx?ISBN=4871872122

These stories are famous in China. I believe that the Ishi Press
edition is the most complete collection of these stories in the most
modern version of simplified Chinese.

For example, another Chinese Language edition with ISBN number
9787101064193 uses an older version of Simplified Chinese that my
Chinese girlfriend has difficulty reading.

Different publications of the works of Ling Menchu have different
numbering sequences for the stories and different titles. One must
search with difficulty to find the same story published in a different
book. For example, the story of "The Miraculous Recovery" is the same
as the story entitled "Mother reproaches daughter for a suspected
affair; Youth takes Wife from a Mistaken Lawsuit" in Tale 16 - First
Series - page 343 - of "Ling Mengchu Amazing Tales" published by Panda
Books in Beijing.

You can find many slightly different versions of this story. The best
way to tell that it is the same story is the names of the characters
remain the same. Here, the main characters in all versions of this
story are Sun and Mother Fang.

Each story by Ling Mengchu is a double story or, in this case, a
triple story. Usually there is a short story at the beginning, which
is followed by a similar but longer and more complicated story. Some
translators will omit the preliminary story and go directly to the
main event. For example, in the story here there are actually three
stories. My translation includes all three stories but the Panda Books
version only includes the main story.

In Chinese, links to this entire story can be found on the Internet,
provided that you can read Chinese. It is story number 35 here:

http://baike.baidu.com/view/411471.htm

Ling Mengchu (Chinese: 凌濛初; In Chinese, the title is:

Sam Sloan, please don't mind rst0's ranting in his reply to your post.
He can't help himself.

Your post was on books on kindle translated by you. Can't make out why
rst0 chose to make a song-and-dance about China's one-party
dictatorship in his reply.

rst0 seems to be so totally blinded by his obsessive approval and
support for the one-party dictatorship in Beijing that he snaps and
barks at anything and everything !! But he is already 74. May God soon
give him some respite from his torment.

Looks pretty bad, all right. The blurb there says:

"A woman is missing and the police are searching to find out what happened to her. Meanwhile, the woman had been involved in a ménage à trois with two monks. There is suspicion that the monks have murdered the woman.Although this is a classic story written in the year 1622, is closely similar to a recent shocking case of Josef Fritzl that has been in the news. The case is solved through a divine revelation from God in Heaven."

I just want to know: is it common in Chinese courts to admit divine revelations as evidence? That's an innovation yet to be adopted in America, although there are those who advocate it.
