My oldest unread purchased ebook, from June 2004. And rather an old story indeed - first published in 1911. It turned 100 between my buying it and now!
More typos than I'd like. And horribly dated science. The story line's trite. And there are info-dumps everywhere. But even so, a remarkable range of ideas for a work so old.

Next up: Something a bit more recent - the latest Analog SFF, September 2014.
