Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
Proper Stargate Rewatch -- season 10 of SG-1

Originally posted by Falcon Horus View PostTough luck on those folks who love to stick their noses deep in between the pages of a new/old book and smell it (I have a friend who does that - I kid you not). Turning pages and hearing the paper tear a little when done too hastily. Seeing the books line up on the shelves... If only Gutenberg had known.
Actually I own something between 2 and 3,000 books, fiction, non-fiction, a small amount of audio books. The problem is I'm running out of space. I have three wall shelves (over the complete walls), also three cupboards and the box of my old PC full of books I don't want to give away. And the possibility is more about to buy more books then to give books away.
Plus, I tried several time to order directly from Fandy but - don't know why - never got what I've ordered. So I have to buy via amazon - but some of the novels never were listed there so I have to buy them from expensive sellers. For example: "Death Game" wasn't avaiable via amazon. I tried to order it directly but again the process failed. Finally I ordered the novel via an importer and had to pay 25 Euros. When you look at the price for the kindle-edition of "Death Game" ... that one only costs around 4 - 6 Euros. I'm not a millionair, sorry, I will pay for the cheaper offer.
BTW, who told you it isn't in Gutenbergs mind to read via a ebook-reader? When I remember right his intention to develop book printing was to make it easier for everyone to read books. An ebook-reader is also a way to read books and it is easy.
But I agree with you. There is no better smell as the smell of a book. And you know what? When I open a book for the first time I always put my nose deep inside of it and inhale. And it's always wonderful!

Perhaps build book-walls... wouldn't that be like an extra wall to keep the warmth inside the house.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

In any event, I'm awaiting when the next Legacy series book (and the rest) come out. The Lost left us off in a big cliffhanger - a multi-month long cliffhanger at that. End of November? I think I can do that.Oh for a book and a shady nook ~ Jules' Book Reviews - my book review site.

I got the Kindle for PC and ordered the e-book of Allegiance, couldn't wait till it came out in hard copy, have just finished reading, thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait for the next book now. Kindle for PC is very easy to use, and very convenient, and I will always have a backup copy of the book, plus I don't have to find somewhere to store it. Though it was a little different from actually reading a hard copy, but hey I like to read Fan fiction, so it wasn't that much different.
My thumbs up for Allegiance, bring on the next book.I came, I saw, I conquered!

Does anyone know when it will be available on the Nook or some other form of ebook? I have a Nook plus have gift cards attached as well as the first two books on it and want to keep them on the same e-reader. I had hoped it would be listed today as this was the original release date but don't see it.
