A new interactive Kindle edition of the extended version of Flight from the Dark has gone on sale in the United States (Europe and the rest of the world to follow in the future).
I haven’t had a chance to check it out, but from what I understand, it’s supposed to keep track of game stats for you. Can anyone confirm?

I just bought it, and started an adventure. It looks pretty good. The character generator automatically rolls your Endurance and Combat Skill, and picks what items you find (it wouldn’t be obvious that any of that happened behind the scenes if I had never read the book before). It lets you pick the right number of skills to start.
The Kindle’s menu button has options to save and restore, along with quit. Apparently there’s an auto save every 10 sections, and on quit.
The only thing that isn’t clear is if/when book 2 comes out, how the character will be transferred. I hope I don’t have to wait too long to find out. 🙂
Actually when you complete the adventure you get a code that you enter when part two comes out. This will allow the transfer of you character as well as equipment. The Kindle edition is the exact same version as the new Hardback from Mongoose by the way, so it’s longer than the original. 🙂
I LOVE IT! 🙂 Do check out my review here: http://techindulgence.blogspot.com/2011/09/lone-wolf-flight-from-dark-kindle.html … I wish that “Sword of the Sun” would come out sooner!!!! 🙂 And yes, you can transfer your stats (I showed a screenshot of that).
Does this work on the iOS version of Kindle reader, and/or on other platforms besides the Kindle device itself? I don’t have a Kindle yet but will have a Fire once that releases.
