It was just a couple of weeks ago that I was clicking the 'I'd like to read this on Kindle' links for Pynchon's books on Amazon. That was fast!! too bad this is Penguin, still Agency and still silly pricing (i.e. a bit higher than paperback editions, not to mention used editions).
Based on past experience, it will take me several months to read just one of them, but I do find the experience rewarding and am looking forward to reading them in ebook form over time. I simply cannot tolerate reading print books any more, as I travel a lot and it is hard to keep them conveniently at hand so that I can actually read them.
Seems like there is still a ton of 'backlist' that has yet to make it to digital, however.
