Absolutely! This is really spectacular stuff, and not only are there great books, but they are done so very well. Not to mention that reading them is going to be a thousand times more fun because they come from our very own MR friends!

Thanks so much to Harry and Wood and Roy and Dr Drib and Travis, and not just them, but a bunch more of the "less prolific" contributers also! (It's always dangerous to mention names, though, because I probably left some people out... thanks so much to everyone who has participated, and forgive me if your name is missing!)

Plus, don't forget the incredible custom artwork that Travis has added. Just unbelievable! In the midst of all the depressing copyright and DRM news, this emerges as a delightful ray of sunshine in the content world!

P.S. I hope you guys are keeping all your BookDesigner files for that day when we want these books in other formats for other devices! Not only are there folks now with other devices that are probably very jealous, but we may all find that in less than 5 years from now there will be another star format for the newest and greatest generation of e-book readers!

Of course, this library of books is so nice, that I think the Sony Reader is guaranteed to remain important to each of us in combination with any spectacular future e-book devices. Not just because of the sentimental attachment that reading so many books on it brings, but because it's worth keeping the Reader around long term just for access to this library. Like Wood says, it's already like a $1200 library of nicely formatted works.
