Can calibre reformat them?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
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.

Kindle books have DRM.
This post is a great guide to making sure that all your books can be read on all your ereaders.

No prob, Jilli. I'm glad I had to look for it, because I had apparently failed to bookmark the original post, and it's so useful!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Because books.
Did anyone else read The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones? It was new last year, I think.
I read it because it's set in the Edwardian era, and it got great reviews, and it was the most fucked up, delightful, chilling little book I've read in a long time. It's a weird mashup of ghost story and comedy of manners, with added splashes of fairy tale and magic realism. I loved it.
