Not in French.
In Hungarian the plural would be "liszőzök" (and the singular would be "liszőz").

We could write a book about it and publish it in mobipocket just to show it's not even close to death!

You are a moderator so why did you not move this discussion to a new thread?

Should not moderators try to keep threads on topic?

He might be out to get you and JSWolf.

Frankly though, I suspect you'd have members fleeing these forums if every time JSWolf complained moderator action was taken.

And anyways... what on earth is either your or JSWolf's rationale for moving a thread that--after a good many posts--started veering off-topic to a section whereto only its second half (third?) belongs?

No... discussions threads shift topic all the time. We are moderators not topic police.

What? You do not move thread. You split threads.

And it needs to be done since some people seems to not notice that a thread is not in the lounge.

It's important to distinguish between one's personal opinion and the forces of objective reality.

Judging by the moderators, the need you perceive simply does not exist.

I suspect that next shift for Mobipocket is to become a US only company. From there, I'm not sure what will happen.

I just want the remaining Perry Rhodan books translated into English - they did the first hundred or so when I was a kid - but Germany's got more than another 2000.

Mmmh, let beam ebooks get successful enough with its Perry Rhodan sales. Then we might talk about a non-DRM English translation from Germany for a global market. There are enough guys'n'gals over here with English as their mother tongue.

Who really needs Mobipocket or Amazon, after all?

We are now at 2509 :

Unless you buy a Mobipocket that is - Mobipocket has not yet released the newest issue. Sometimes it takes them until Monday . Once my subscription was 2 weeks late .

For comparison: Beam-ebook releases to subscribers on Thursday 0:01 (non subscription 24h later) and being late only once and only for an hour. Needless to say that I switched subscription.

But what wonders me most it that Perry Rhodan is still the most sold German book at Mobipocket - even with beam-ebook being cheaper, more reliable, having better customer service and delivering DRM free. Whatever happen to comparing prices and services.

Actually, I still haven't found a freeware ereader application that has the functions I want in such a piece of software. So, I need mobipocket (though Amazon can be stolen imo)
