So, for the fourth time in a row, Romancing the Vote crashed 32auctions too hard.

There will be emails in the morning.

#RomancingTheVote

Holy. Fuck.

Crashed the site, auction currently at US$231,739 and change. If the site comes online in time, there will be extended bidding for some items up to 7:30 Central time.

#PSA from the Romancing the Vote team: if you are only checking the total raised, please do not refresh the auction main page--it will break the server and that's not fun (it slows down or stops further bids).

Instead, you can check the Bidstream for the up to the second running total:

Also, in a few minutes, you'll the voluneers in there alongside the spreadsheet.

The Romancing the Vote team has raised a lot of money (over a million dollars across three previous midterm efforts), and the hope is to add a good chunk to the total this time around; the total raised sits currently at almost US$210K, with just under two hours to go.

Go browse, bid, fight fascism.

New York! Go next!

Today, the only way to load third party ebooks onto a newly purchased Kindle or Kindle App is to use the “Send-to-Kindle” service which accepts EPUB3 files and loads them into your Kindle Library. We know that MOBI files are being used less and less, but we want to continue to support our readers who still use their old Kindles! So we’d love to hear from you about whether you still use MOBI files. Here’s a 2-question survey form you can use to tell us your opinion:
