Thanks for the kind welcome!

cbell, it's good to see another Russellphile here in the forum--like you, I want all the books in eform. The first four are coming to the kindle store in a few weeks, last I heard. And the newest, The Language of Bees, is supposed to be in the kindle store the same day as the print version debuts on April 28. That will leave only #5, O Jerusalem unkindled for some strange reason. I'll send Bantam a reminder that OJER is feeling lonely and wants to join its siblings in the kindle store.

I'll also send inquiries regarding the availability in other formats. One issue that mixes things up a bit is that the first four books are with a different publisher than the rest of the series, so that can result in inconsistent availability--Ea (yay--another Russellphile!), this is why you haven't been able to find the first four. But I'll see what I can find out about which books will be available in what formats and when.

Thanks for the heads-up about Calibre, Rahulm. I have a couple of things I'd like to try that on. I realize not everyone wants to convert, though.

Dreams, some of the email feedback has mentioned epub as a good ebook format, and lrf as well. I'll check on those also.

Sir Bruce, I hear you about the multiple files--I don't even like my audible books being busted into 2-3 files. I'm not sure why it shook out that way for this giveaway. I actually downloaded a trial version of a program that could have concatenated the files, but I ended up saying what the hay, I'll just pop from file to file.

Oh, I do have a question re: staying signed in. The forum default seems to sign me out after about 20 minutes or so. Is it possible to extend that? I may be missing something on my user cp.
