I don't think it's acceptable that the limits are not listed. Terms should be defined in advance of a purchase.

I've never agreed with any of the life + N options. It's perfectly okay for my copyrights (these days we all hold some) to expire before I do.

I have a lot of both djvu and pdf files on my Story HD. The only advantage to using djvu over pdf is file size; the Story HD can't handle table of contents or text search in djvu files.

Sherlock Holmes fans pretty much invented fanfic. There's no reason to think Conan Doyle wrote this one.

I do some of this, although it's secondary to my handheld device. The first time I ever read Moby Dick was in a web browser on a laptop.

Could it be Irving A. Greenfield? He wrote a book by that name, which also has the alternative title The Stars Will Judge.

The authors of CoolReader and FBReader don't "need" to. It looks like it's a choice. And with libre software you can also avoid the advertising and tracking crap.

This should be a no-brainer. These multi-column formats were historically a natural adjustment to the media in use. There's no reason at all to preserve them in new and different media.

Good old frostschutz! I hoped you would come through with the authoritative answer.
Now the 1.21 file is just as big as 1.17, and almost as big as 1.33; it's also labeled as "full". Does that mean...

Anything that can replace an iRiver Story HD?

After some 28 months of blissful use, my screen broke this morning. (sob!)
They don't make them anymore, so I'd have to find a secondhand one.
But has the technology advanced any since then?

:eek: That doesn't count. Amazon would never try it. No one here would buy books that were only delivered that way. It's an absurd, unworkable idea.
