Science high school in the Philippines, kind of like the "magnet" schools in the US. We were allowed to watch but there was only one TV in the whole dorm (common room) and we weren't allowed to bring our own, not to mention there was a "curfew" on TV viewing. When you've got a hundred people fighting for the TV, the odds are somewhat against you. The only appliances we were allowed to bring was an electric fan and a radio. No desktops either. There's a computer room with some ancient PC's (286's) and printers where we could do our homework. Laptops were okay but bringing them was discouraged. The dorm including electricity was free (gov't subsidy) so we couldn't really complain.

I just did a search again and you're right, they're available. I guess the reason I didn't see them before is I filter all my searches to include only those available in Microsoft Reader format (and more recently, Adobe ePUB). Looks like the Belgariad is only available in Mobipocket.
