Tor should put its mind at rest about the threat not to buy. My experience with people leads me to believe that just as has occurred in the past, once the books are available, people will forget the threat they made in the "heat of battle" about not buying. Besides, it is hard to keep good quality writing down, especially in a world of mediocrity.

You can always come to MobileRead for advice, just be sure to wear a thick coat because there are always passionate opinions about what makes a device the "best of both worlds" or which device is better. The nice thing about Mobile Read is that although discussions are passionate, they rarely stray far from civility.
