A lot of hoops. Two ebooks combined into one and with no cover art makes me "Wonder" if it was worth the trouble.

Well, at least they seem to have put the entirety of RJS's "special introduction" on their "NO BOOK 4 U" page and I can always content myself with the more readily available Kobo-exclusive Special Edition of the third in the the trilogy, Wonder, which contains a bonus essay and short story.

I hope some of the other Canadian sf readers here will be able to take advantage of this, because hoop-jumping aside, these are really nice titles (Hugo nominated!) and a pretty good promotional gift for those few who qualify.
I found the email "A gift for Hotmail members", from the Windows Live Team, in my Hotmail Junk folder.
