Ganesha Games have released a new Kindle version for the rules of the skirmish game Flying Lead.
I'm am really encouraged to see some rules making the shift over to the Kindle as it will make it so much easier for those with one to try out new games.
Have any of you played this game? Think it's a good thing that some rule systems are making the shift to e-readers?
Author of the game, mr.

And by above I didn’t mean basic Song of Blades and Heroes is a dumb system, just that if you’d think it’s too basic for a realistic shooting game, have no fear. 🙂
Just a point I believe Song of Blades and Heroes will also soon be making its way to a Kindle format.

Might well be the case, with the newest version of it in the works.
Wouldn’t surprise me to see them all available for kindle
Andrea seems to be on top of these things as Lucas said.
Haven’t played Flying Lead, but would definitely advocate the Ganesha games.
Andrea just posted on the matter on the official Yahoo group; next two books for Kindle will be Tales of Blades and Heroes (a RPG) and Mighty Monsters (a Kaiju miniatures game).
