Looking for Iain M Banks Culture novels
Hi all,
I'm awaiting the arrival of a Cybook Gen 3, one of the series of books I want to get in eBook format is the Culture novels by Iain M Banks. I've been trying to find an online store which stocks his sci-fi titles but to no avail. Just wondering if any of you have any information on where I can get any of Iain M Banks Culture eBooks. Cheers, Colin |

The Player of Games is one of my very favorite books. I'm sorry to say I've only seen it available on the darknet.

Consider Phlebas ftw!
Unfortunately it looks like only a couple of Banks novels are available electronically, all non-Culture. |

All of the Culture novels are out there. None of them legally.

Same here..I want to get into the Culture novels, but Books On Board only sell 2 of them. I would like to read them in release chronological order, i.e. starting with "Consider Phlebas". Maybe something has changed since 2007 and there is an ebook store out these selling them? Please? :P

Yes, EPUB files from Waterstone's have Adobe's ADEPT DRM.

Then (assuming they would have sold to a U.S. resident) they have lost a sale because of DRM.
