Woo hoo!, Thanks for posting that. That was the book I selected in the thread about books we wanted to see as ebooks. It's been downloaded!

Ooooohh .... that is so tempting. But, I've read it four times already I think. And it's the complete unabridged edition, that runs 1100+ pages in hardback.

Already bought from Fictionwise with a handy 100% micropay rebate

desertgrandma · 07-04-2008, 04:22 PM

Ya know I would have bought it there too, but they don't download for kindle...or am I missing something?

Afraid I have a Sony so I don't know, but I'm sure if its legal to remove the drm you can convert formats easily enough

I only see 2 versions of the file available for free. eReader and Microsoft Reader. I got the free one for Microsoft Reader so that it can be read on my computer but I'm having some issues.

I'll try again later.

Edit: Don't anyone else try this. It looks like I still got charged the $17.95 and it was added to my "micropay" account. So, far this book was not free to me from Fictionwise.

Available for free? Where did you see that? The 0$ in there is relative. The 100% micropay would mean the book is free, but it's not. You have to pay for it. You just get a credit of 17,95 to spend in OTHER ebooks.

Or at least that's what I understood. Anyway, booksonboard have a PRC version, for 13.86$.

daffy4u · 07-04-2008, 06:50 PM

Well, I have learned my lesson in the ways of Micropay. I'll stick to Amazon. I already bought it for $9.99.

The kindle is going to be such a success......its too easy to buy a book. Badda bing badda boom.......click a button and its done. No muss no fuss.....no coupons, low prices, clean and easy no matter where you are......almost.......and I know that behind the scenes, they gotta be working on international availability. Too much money to be made,.
