BTW

For you Baeners (native Californian and therefore authorized to use this term) that have not discovered The 5th it is a truly awesome resource. The best thing about it is that the books on the CD's are in a lot of formats!

Html
Doc
Rtf
Mobi
Lrf
Lit
Rb

I started out with the CD that was included with the At All Costs which lead me to the Baen web site which lead me to The 5th. All this lead me to start reading Html books on my computer which lead me to buying a Kindle2 once I realized that it supported my growing Baen Library. Naturally I had to re-download all the books I had in Html in Mobi format. Now I am concerned that Amazon will do something weird or that my Kindle2 will explode or Baen might vanish or something else that might prevent me from enjoying my ebooks. So I am in the process of insuring that I have every book in every format available on multiple hard drives on multiple computers. (perhaps a little paranoid)

The 5th Imperium is wonderful since the books on the CD's shortcut that process. The CD's are redundant so there is a lot of duplication but each introduces something new.
