Use bit.ly to make a book easily downloadable from a tweet
Referring to a post, where I was sharing a way to make your book downoadable from a single tweet by everybody, who is using iPhone + Stanza, I have a great update: when you use bit.ly url shortener it’s now even easier to make. This solution was tested and suggested by Jonathan Vaught (@copyhacker), thanks for that!
Here is how it goes:
1. Copy a link of an ePub file, go to bit.ly and paste it into a link box
http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3127.epub
2. In a link replace “http” to “epub”
epub://www.feedbooks.com/book/3127.epub
3. Click “shorten”. The link is ready!
This simple solution is based on a fact, that Safari can interpret epub:// directories, so that it opens Stanza, which immediately downloads a book from that directory.
