Hi Joel, S.O.S:
On my Mac I get the following notice explaining it is unavailable to me. I wonder if other Mac users face the same block?
(X) The Windows Live Network is unavailable from this site for one of the following reasons:
1 > This site may be experiencing problems.
2 > The site may not be a member of the Windows Live Network.
3 > You may be able to sign in or sign up at other sites on the Windows Live Network, or try again later. I have tried the latter with no success. Paul p.s. This particular article was in USAToday last week as well.

It is a compilation of files that are in the Additional Resource Information folder on the Island Hike DVD. Finally, I have uploaded a file that provides instructions on how to get these eBooks onto your Kindle, iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android phone and Blackberry phone.
