Thanks for the coupon.
I used it for my first-ever purchase at Fictionwise. Now, would someone please be kind enough to tell me what the secret is to get the book to show up in "My Bookshelf" for downloading? I sat staring at the screen saying WTF? for a while, but then I finally found a "bulk download button" and got my book that way, but surely there's an easier way? I even tried logging out and logging in again later and the book still doesn't show up in the bookshelf. By the way, the book I got is The Murder of My Aunt, by Richard Hull, which was recommended in another thread. |

I've added Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's four titles at Fictionwise to my list too.
For SF fans, I do recommend Brian Stableford. I read his "The Dragon Man" last year, and liked it a lot. I have his SF/Fantasy on my list. R A MacAvoy was already on my list. The Lois McMaster Bujolds that aren't available through webscription.net (where they're mostly available as omnibus volumes for $6, which probably works out cheaper). As a fantasy, I highly rate her "The Spirit Ring". I've added the longer Marion Zimmer Bradleys that I didn't have, also several of Piers Anthony's SF/Fantasy. Some Mercedes Lackey - although watch out, some of the title there are still overpriced, even at 60% off. I've also added in the available editions of LightSpeed Science Fiction magazine ($1.02 each!) With everything else, I now have a list of 100 books for $217.79. And some more on my wish list to be bought with my micropay rebate. But since that's about a year's worth of reading matter, I shall give it a little thought overnight. It does seem to be an amazing bargain. |

Screencap attached; does your bookshelf not look anything like that? (If your book is a secure format, it won't have the dropdown, but otherwise should look the same.) |

The format itself is very similar to mobi: it allows bold, italics, centered & indented text, larger fonts, and limited types of pictures. It can have internal links (like, for a table of contents); it can't have embedded fonts or paragraph formatting beyond alignment (like, can't have double-spaced paragraphs). I used to love the ereader format for my Clie; I'm annoyed that none of the eInk readers besides the Nook support it. |

Wow, great coupon! Thank you, alism!
CatLady - Secure Ereader format works on the regular Jetbook, but not the Jetbook Lite. <sigh> Some recommendations: For noir/mystery fans: They still have some of the Rex Stout books by Wonder Ebooks before Random House started grabbing them. There are also some Jim Thompson, if you have read any of him. There are Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen magazines. For SF/Fantasy, if you like stories there are still quite a few Vera Nazarian, George Zebrowski, Gardner Dozois. There are a couple of stories by George RR Martin I particularly liked, The Sandkings (they made an Outer Limits episode out of that); and The Pear-Shaped Man, a very peculiar fantasy story. There are volumes I and II of Robert Sheckley. Last edited by NightBird; 05-15-2011 at 01:53 AM. |

Elfwreck and Night Bird, thanks for the info about the Secure eReader format. Sounds like a pain. Too bad; I searched on the publisher Rosetta (if you got the free Copia books, most of them were from Rosetta) and found a bunch of books I would have ordered (The Southpaw and Bang the Drum Slowly, The World of Henry Orient, 101 Dalmatians, The Wheel Spins), but they were all that Secure eReader format.

Thanks for mentioning Wonder--I'd forgotten about them for noir, so I went back to search Wonder at Fictionwise, and found a couple of nurse romances by Peggy Gaddis and Arlene Hale!
