All the Myriad Ways edition by Larry Niven Literature Fiction eBooks
The stories are great (I first bought this in paperback over 30 years ago) but, as is often the case with older books newly released on Kindle, the proofreading and format checking seem not to extend beyond the free sample; extra/missing line breaks, extra hyphens, and uncorrected OCR errors are jarring. One essay alone ("The Theory and Practice of Teleportation") has "denned" for "defined"; "Alfred Hester" for "Alfred Bester"; "Foul" for "Poul" (as in Anderson); and others. If Sheckley hadn't already taken it, a better title would be "Untouched by Human Hands".What a disappointment after such a wait. (In the desktop Kindle app, the book is displayed in sans-serif fonts, making every page an eyesore. Fortunately the Kindle devices seem to ignore this "feature.")

All the Myriad Ways edition by Larry Niven Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The short story format took me by surprise. Niven is a great writer, so it was easy to get into the stories, but then suddenly they were over...
An early book but still good.
though I can't answer for the readability of the kindle version that Perldiver read. As a book its definitely worth reading. Stories are OK, but the essays on time travel, teleportation, and the possibility of preserving a certain Kryptonian life form are very funny and definitely first rate.
A nice collection of older Niven short stories. Not necessarily his best work but still very good. "Inconstant Moon" starts out great but then veers away from the expected conclusion to one which is less dramatic. I thought "Passerby" was touching.
Great collection of short stories from Niven's Golden Age. Lots of humor and a sense of optimism about humanity's future. I wouldn't mind living in Niven's Known Universe at all.
Bought as a gift for a friend who'd never heard of "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex". "All the Myriad Ways" is a great collection of odd yet thoughtful science fiction short stories. The stories are deep enough to be interesting and short enough to be approachable for folks who haven't yet immersed themselves in science fiction.
My friend, a literature buff who'd just finished "The Song of Roland", thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Short story collection, read it as a "ute". Varied topics, stories, a novella, and a few essays which feature a lot of humor, especially Man Of Steel, Woman of Kleenex. If you're a Niven or Sci-Fi fan this book is a must-have.
