Oh, since I invoked the eBay spirits here: I won the auction for the signed 1st edition of The Vampire Lestat! I would stamp my Goth Card, but I don't think there's any more room.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Convert it using Calibre.
Ah ha! Never thought of that, thanks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Erin, I am happy to either walk you through converting it or doing it for you.

Oh my god, I can't wait until you read it. Because of The Thing. And The Other Thing (which I still don't know how I feel about it, whether it was an asspull that didn't work, an asspull that worked because of its sheer ballsyness, or a brilliant move).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I have a copy of it on my iPad right now! I probably won't be able to start it right away (I have another couple of books in-progress right now), but still...
Also, Teppy, have you read "Goliath" yet?

Tried to convert the Skullduggery book, but it's got DRM on it and Calibre can't change it. Piffle.

Hey. New board.
Calibre can deal with the DRM, though it's of questionable legality. For a free book, though, I doubt anybody could argue the ethics side. Why HarperCollins is offering it free on Amazon but not on B&N is anybody's guess, but I'm sure they'll be happy if you read it, love it, and buy the rest. That's what they're going for.
I won't publish how to remove the DRM with Calibre here, but if you want to discuss it off-board, e-mail me.
ETA: Alternatively, Google will find it pretty easily.

Hey. New board.
Awesomely, it looks like books 2 and 3 are available through the NYPL as Kindle books (the first book is, too, but I already got that obviously)! Yay!
