P.S. Do we have somewhere a current list of publishers on board?

TokyoPop is being distributed by HarperCollins. They do Manga, primarily focusing on young girl readership. Meg Cabot, of the Princess Diaries, is getting some of her books Manga-ized.

I hadn't heard of TokyoPop until I went to San Diego and met Tony Salvaggio, who co-wrote the manga PSY-COMM. You can peek into a few pages of the book at Amazon, I think. It looks really good. I hope that one ends up on the Reader. I may end up, to my great surprise, becoming a manga fan!

BTW, lest you start to wonder about me, let me point out that this particular one is does not appear to be aimed at an audience of young girls!

My DH is a huge Manga fan and I thought about him in regards to the Sony eReader. He uses the IPAQ right now which is not usable for Manga but he wants to wait and see. He was disturbed by the lack of backlight. I hope Borders gets them in during October. I have that 10% off!!!

If Sony added Leisure Publishers to its list, I would buy every single horror title.

...and I mean EVERY TITLE.

Leisure had a type of book club you could join so that every time a new horror book came out, you would get it.

Make that available as an ebook (what was it, 2 per month?), and I'll fork over an entire amount for a subscription. I'll do it right now, Sony. Hello, Sony? Hello? Sony?

Sorry....no one's there.

Connect does have a number of Star Trek titles. I've been reading some of the ones I've purchased from Simonsays.com on my reader. Had to convert them to LRF first though. Bought them in LIT. Like the SCE/CoE series and the Mere Anarchy series. I still have the last book in the Mere Anarchy series to purchase and most of the CoE series once I finish the SCE series.

By the way, did you download the Star Trek book I have up in the forum written by a real author (not a fan work).
