Well, since the new Terry Pratchett book is out and I wanted to buy it as mobipocket file I went to booksonboard.
They have the book.
I registered.
When I try to log into the account after registration I the "Cookies not enabled" warning.
My cookies ARE enabled, I can even see the booksonboard cookies in my cookies collection...
I rerequested Username and Password, just to see whether that might help.
Know what happened?
Never received an email. The email address I gave them was correct, so that can't be it.
I'll check my SPAM filters and then I'll go buy somewhere else...

UPDATE: it wasn't eaten by the Google Spamfilter...I guess something went wrong with the website.

UPDATE2: I actually tried IE as well and it also does not work. Same error.

UPDATE3: They just got back to me (I sent them a message asking what's wrong) and told me it was a server issue. It is now fixed. I guess i'll be able to buy my book now...


On a sidenote...I saved quite alot of money on this book purchase:

The Hardcover in a local bookstore here in Germany would have been 26€.
I paid 15$ for the book and the dollar-euro ratio PayPal gave me was 1.38...this means I save another 38% bringing the price down almost to paperback levels. That's what ebooks should cost anyway if they come out at the same time as the Hardcover editions...at least in my opinion...
