Mal ,'War Stories'
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."
P-C,
Oh, nice review! So I kind of felt like the book was a bit too slow going and there was a WHOLE lot of exposition. I kind of feel like the revelation(s) at the dead end of the book had come sooner - like half to 2/3rds of the way through so a few more implications of the revelation could be teased out. I am pretty sure I know what happened, but I guess I will need this spelled out next book.
I enjoyed reading it, then found myself profoundly disappointed after. The ending reveal was only a shocker to the character, not to the reader, and it's just....a prologue. I'm waiting for the actual book to start.
Oops.
Amazon has the 5-book kindle edition of A Song of Ice and Fire for $9.99 and Dances with Dragons
How involved a process is it to put Kobo books on Kindle? Kobo is having a really good sale, but I can't find a clear explanation of what sort of wrangling I'd have to do to get the books onto the Kindle.
Can calibre reformat them?
Amazon is having a ridiculous Cyber Monday Kindle sale, and nearly all of Octavia Butler is $1.99 each (with great deals for the omnibuses). Also a lot of Dorothy Sayers.
I haven't the foggiest, Jilli, but the local independent bookstore down here (Mysterious Galaxy - you met several of them at your signing at Comic-Con) sells Kobos, so might be able to give you some idea, or at least point you to someone who knows. (ph# 858-268-4747)
Jilli, do they have DRM?
Calibre is a free program that can easily convert book formats. It can also handle DRM but you have to download some extensions and so it's slightly more complex.
