Newton's Battery FIRST DRAFT by Bob Swanson

ATTENTION: READ THIS FIRST!
Due to the vast number of Bot linkers out there I am asking that anyone who visits this page and downloads a copy of the book PLEASE sign your name in the comments section. I believe you can do so even if you don't have a Google account. This will allow me to sift the real people from the blog scammers out there. Thanks!

So, with that said, here is the first draft of the book, Newton's Battery. It only took me a year to finish it. Now, you can see it for yourself, all at once, top to bottom. Please remember this is unpolished and raw, and still needs to be proofread. That said, the characters and plot are pretty much good, but there will be some details that will need to be fixed, re-written, etc. Feedback is not manditory, but is appreciated. You can send it to billy.uno01@gmail.com and please include the word "Feedback" in the subject.

I only have e-versions which will work with phones, tablets, PCs and e-readers, and I'm including a brief guide to which versions work with which e-readers.

I'm hosting these on Dropbox, so here are the links:

PDF : This is the most universal, but also the biggest file size. It should be readable on most devices, but doesn't often customize well; What you see is what you get.

The rest of these should allow you to  read on most devices with the ability to skip to different chapters, set bookmarks, customize the font, font size, etc etc, and are much smaller file size than the PDF. If you're using an Android device I might suggest Moon Reader, or simply search "ebook reader" on the Play Store. For iPhones, iPads, and other Apple devices you can try Ebook Reader, Bluefire, Kindle, or search "ebook reader" on the App Store. Otherwise, if you're using another ebook reader, such as Kindle, download the appropriate version below.

Epub : This is the second most universal, and you should be able to find a reader that will let you read it with a few exceptions.

LIT : This is the standard for Sony's e-readers, but should also work on several others.

Mobi : This should work on all but a few versions of Kindle.

AZW3 : This is Kindle's primary format.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to read my work, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I was writing it.
