Yeah, there is: if you let Word have a go at it, the file size almost doubles.
That shouldn't really be a big deal to me I s'pose, as I don't let a lot of things collect on my Reader (I take 'em off as I finish reading 'em). I have the space, but the smaller the file is, the more I can store!
I agonized long and hard about that $18 price tag, myself. The thing that finally decided me was the realization that I was
going to read the book, and I was going to read it
soon (as you say, it
is by Weber). Once I realized that, I saw it as a choice between paying $26 at the store for the hardback (too impatient to wait on Amazon, you know
), or paying $18 for the e-book. Add to that the fact that I'm trying to get as much of my reading in e-format these days (both because the Reader has become far and away my preference for reading, and because I almost literally don't have space to
put any more p-books), and the choice was inevitable.
The fact that I see encouraging Tor in its offering of DRM-free e-books as a Good Idea is just icing. I'm that hoping as they get more used to the idea, they'll get more reasonable on the pricing. I've been called an optimist before, I expect I can survive the experience a few times more yet.
