I'll definitely visit Baen and ask you guys for reader opinions when this thing wears out. Earl J.

Seriously...I don't care about political bullshit all that much but Amazon's attitude towards ebooks is both predatory and very, very well thought out.<br /><br />Oh well, your point about them wearing out is well taken and next time you can get something that is epub compliant and we will ...ahem... "convert" your "licensed" acquisitions for the purposes of backup and archival ness and stuff.<br /><br />And the Penric books are fun. Novellas and short stories are now a big marketing thing to help keep up interest in series...and likely fun for the authors as well.Never for Everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831217490877039494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077773.post-57379446815881990192017-12-29T08:28:54.742-07:002017-12-29T08:28:54.742-07:00Ebooks haven't won the war, Earl; they're ...Ebooks haven't won the war, Earl; they're just another channel for getting content to consumers.
