Limbo - by Bernard Wolfe - Important SF dystopian novel to be republished
"Limbo," by Bernard Wolfe, is available on pre-order from Amazon for $6.99, and will be published as a Kindle ebook on April 14, 2016. Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...=sr_1_2&sr=8-2 This is an important book, one that I read way back in the early '70s. It was published in 1952. I've already pre-ordered my copy. It would make a great book for discussion here at Mobileread, due to a number of controversial topics. Check out some comments at Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/636193.Limbo |

Well, they delayed it twice, and then yesterday I received an email from Amazon saying my order has now been cancelled:
"The release of the item in the order below has been canceled by the publisher and we have canceled your pre-order. You won't be charged for items that are canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience." |

Just checked and the Kobo site shows it as being available to pre order. Maybe they haven't gotten around to cancelling it.

Just got the following eMail from Kobo
Thank you for placing a pre-order for Limbo with us on April 28, 2016 When the publisher makes your book available, we'll charge your credit card $6.99 and download your book to your Library. Limbo is scheduled for release on April 14, 2016, but please note that this is subject to change. Thanks again for shopping with us, and happy reading! Sincerely, Kobo Customer Care Not too confident this will work any better than Amazon |

I think they're behind the times, as that date was the original release date that Amazon told me when the ebook first went on pre-order. |

If I remember correctly, I received two notices from Amazon saying it had been delayed, and then a third and final PM saying that the order had been cancelled. Please let us know if, in two weeks, you get your ebook. |
