Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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."
you can use the overdrive app on iPad or iPhone, and it's pretty nice.
Oh, that's good to know! The last time I borrowed a library e-book, it was not mobile-compatible in any way. (And then after I'd finally wrangled it into a format Kindle would read, the formatting was all fucked up and it was no fun to read anyway. YOU WIN THIS TIME, COPYRIGHT LAW!)
Jessica, I haven't stripped any library books (though admittedly, most of the library books I've read electronically have been pretty terrible). But you can use the overdrive app on iPad or iPhone, and it's pretty nice. And I've downloaded them to my kindle also, though it's a bit more of a step (so these days I mostly ipad, if I"m reading library books)
I don't use the overdrive app (though I probably should), instead I use Adobe Digital Editions which works fine, though not speedily. I also read them on my nook, ipad, and my computer.
I've used Overdrive to download library books to my Kindle, but I can't strip them of DRM (nor would I feel comfortable doing so).
How do you strip DRM? Or maybe I should ask why you do?
Amy, I posted a link upthread within the last week: it's a blog post about DRM and books and using Calibre to manage an ebook library. It has pretty much all the information you could want, plus screenshots.
I had forgotten, Consuela -- I bookmarked that the first time you linked it a while back, and I do have Calibre, I just haven't fooled with it much yet. Thanks!
I was perusing Sotheby's website, playing "If I was obscenely rich" and looking at various art, jewelry, and book auctions. In an English literature and illustration auction, there were several items for J.K. Rowling, illustrations for a limited edition of one of the Harry Potters. The estimate was 3,000-7,000 pounds. There was also a book that she'd used a pseudonym for, which was authographed with the pseud and her real name, that was also estimated at several thousand. So I'm guessing her stuff is going to be in print for a while.
There was also a First American Edition of The Hobbit, in an exquisite scarlet leather binding with a gorgeous multi-color image of Hobbiton, I think one that Tolkien himself painted. Want. I promise, if I win the lottery, I won't squander it on drugs and garish cars and parties, I'll only spend it on rare book auctions. And Pre-Raphaelite paintings.
It certainly looks like him. ...I hate MIchelle's dress. It looks as though it's falling off (which I'm sure it's supposed to look like that, but...)
Doh! I meant to post that it Natter! (But I totally agree, meara).
Eleanor and Park is on sale on kindle today for $2.99. I know a lot of buffistas have read it and liked it.
Spend $2.99! I approve! (not that anyone needs my approval).
