Hello Chad,
To complement the information Eric provided and to answer your
question more in depth: we are already providing the Lone Wolf books
in a format suitable for e-ink readers. The Book page for LW #1 (see
http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/FlightFromTheDark) already includes
links to download files suitable for the Kindle (mobi format) or other
ebook readers (epub format). We are working to replace the ebook files
pointed to in other book pages (contributed by John Broz) and replace
them with the new files we generate based on the latest content we
have.
You will find more information on the files we provide for e-ink
readers at http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/ElectronicBooks
The above page discusses their features and liimtations. One specific
question that comes often is whether we provide "interactive" books or
not. The short answer is not currently, the long answer is available
in http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/ElectronicBooks#faq1
The pages for other books in the Lone Book series will be updated
shortly to include links to all the different formats available for
different e-book readers (Kindle included).
We very much appreciate feedback from users, so if, after reading the
above, you are still interested, you own a Kindle and are eager to
try it our version out just go to
http://www.projectaon.org/en/mobi/lw/ and download any of the 25 Lone
Wolfs available there. Please send feedback to the project aon mailing
list
That is the current situation regarding ebook support as provided by
the project itself. There is ongoing work, however, by volunteers to
provide interactive applications for Lone Wolf in some platforms (e.g.
Android devices). You will find more information about these
initiatives in the Forum, more specifically under this section:
http://projectaon.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=softwaresupport
Finally, specifically for Kindle devices and unrelated to the project
a company (Worldweaver) is developing interactive books for the
Kindle. You will find more information here:

Best regards
Javier
