 Amazon has now flicked the switch which makes the updated Kindle eBook edition of List of the Dead available for existing customers to download to their devices.
Regardless of whether you use a Kindle, tablet, or app, you can get the updated version by visiting the "Manage My Kindle" page for your Amazon region. UK Customers: https://www.amazon.co.uk/myk USA Customers: https://www.amazon.com/mn/dcw/myx.html As stated in the previous post, the corrections are fairly minor but the update does add a short excerpt from the upcoming volume, The Ravening Deep. Enjoy!

As with Steal from the Devil, a few inevitable errors made it through editing and proofing with List of the Dead.
The text has been updated for the two available paperback versions, and anyone purchasing them will get the revised version with immediate effect. The update for the Kindle version will be available in due course. None of the changes affect the plot or characters. The changes are:
Page numbers refer to the standard paperback ISBN 150549284X. In addition to these corrections, the front and back matter of both Steal from the Devil and List of the Dead have been updated. The description on the rear cover of Steal from the Devil has also been tweaked to match the wording of the eBook version.  The original Armada Wars novel, Steal from the Devil, has now been updated. This is an optional update which contains no changes to the story.
The front matter and back matter have been updated to reflect the release of List of the Dead, and the various links at the end of the story have now been replaced by a single link to this web site. Also included now is an excerpt from List of the Dead. If you have not elected to allow automatic updates on your Kindle you can find instructions on acquiring the updated version here. Alternatively, turn on automatic updates to have new versions of books pushed to your device. If you choose this option, be sure to also turn on Backup your Bookmarks, Notes and Annotations. This function requires Whispersync to be turned on. Amazon must "flick the switch" to allow the update to be downloaded. There will be a further post here when they do this.  The corrections made to the paperback version of List of the Dead have now been made to the Kindle version as well.
In addition, new sections have been added to the Kindle eBook version. These are:

When List of the Dead was placed on pre-order it was originally priced at £3.99, but not long after it was actually released the price dropped to £2.99 (and the equivalent prices in other regions). This was in line with the long term plan of having the initial volume in each story priced low, and a uniform price for all subsequent volumes.
With hindsight, that was not really very fair to the die-hard fans who pre-ordered LOTD. So for The Ravening Deep the exact opposite is going to happen, which will compensate those die-hard fans. TRD will be on pre-order for just £1.99, and available at that price for a month after release. Then the price will rise to £2.99 to match that of LOTD. It's a first for the Armadaverse: a reader survey!
This blog post is extra special: it's one which you can use to outline your response to the current Armada Wars books — and the forthcoming episode, The Ravening Deep — without all the pesky nonsense which goes with writing comments. Basically, because we can. The survey won't collect any information about you; it only sends the selected options and any text you type in. Read on to give your answers! In the same week that Mashable reported on the failure of Google+ and predicted its quiet demise, the "Armada Wars Official" page was verified and given a custom URL.
