Looks like a good mystery. Thanks!

awesome! I just wish all the books in the series were available as ebooks! I have The Beekeeper's Apprentice in paperback and will be happy to grab it as an ebook.

JSWolf · 03-30-2009, 02:46 PM

Another PDF. When will authors learn about eBooks and stop the PDF?

Are you willing to convert it and then spend hours and hours fixing the errors because it's coming as a PDF?

texasnightowl · 03-30-2009, 02:58 PM

Well, I'm certainly willing to download it, use the pdf to word transformer on it and check it out in word.

Probably as soon as the publisher supplies them with something else. Many authors don't have the technical know how to even make a PDF.

I'll definitely download it and try a conversion. It's a good book and not all PDFs convert poorly.

True, not all convert poorly. But I've never yet heard of any novel length PDF converting without errors.

Yes, the whole series is very good but read the books in order. I had to buy The Beekeeper's Apprentice in hardcover since it was not available in paper back when I discovered this series some years ago. It is actually more fun the the original Sherlock Holmes and very popular among Sherlock Holmes fans. The thing happening in this series is called kanon (yes, with an K).

Yep, this is definitely one you don't want to read out of order.

I guess we're assuming it'll be PDF because the sample is a PDF? I didn't see it said anywhere that the 4/1 freebie would be (although it's a good guess).

I popped the HTML I exported from the sample into BD and it looks like it wouldn't need much work at all to make a good copy.

I definitely agree.

Can't wait for the end of April for the new book "The Language of the Bees"

Great book. My paperback copy has been read so many times.

Is this the first in the series?
