Use Bit.ly to Make a Book Easily Downloadable From a Tweet

bitlyReferring 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.
