Is that what it means when my download is about 2 words wide, a column straight down the center?

Sweet. I'd somehow missed that the books were up aleady, and had just emailed tor about getting a mobi or html version of mistborn, so thanks for the headsup. I'm sure it was my own lack of reading comprehension, though..? I'd thought there would be one last email this Friday, but I guess not.

Anyways, while I'd been using html to conver to .lrf through calibre because calibre recommends html over .prc, i found that the files come out much better using the .prc versions (actual page breaks for new chapters, .. a small detail but when it's not done right, it's always a jarring reminder that this isn't an actual pbook).

I thought so too, but remembered something about them opening on July 20th so today I went to Tor.com to check. It's a bit strange though that they didn't announce the opening of their website via e-mail.

I got an email on Friday (7/18) with "Darkness of the Light" by Peter David as well as noting the 7/20 site launch.
