Dammit having to choose between Hyperion and Ender's Game is hard. But then you cannot really read Hyperion without also reading fall of Hyperion.
I recently finished Hyperion and found it to be very good. I do have the next book in the series. But be aware that there are a lot of OCR mistakes in Hyperion.

That's very odd. I know the links were working, because that's where I bought mine, but now not only do the links not take you to A Canticle For Leibowitz, but the site's search engine show no entry for the book.

Most peculiar.
Not really that odd. eBookMall has changed their site. They no longer sell Mobipocket format eBooks. Just ePub & PDF. So unless Mobipocket sells A Canticle For Leibowitz, there's no place to actually get it legally.

Yes, I am. I was on a 14 night cruise to the Caribbean. Very enjoyable. While on the cruise, we booked another 14 night trans-Atlantic cruise (for 2012) also at the end of October.

There was a PDF link on the site also, and it no longer works. Both worked when the Poll went up.

No idea why the PDF is gone. But the Mobipocket is gone because eBookMall no longer sells Mobipocket.

They must have stopped right after I bought mine, because it's in .prc format, and I suspect a few other members could say the same.

Looks like Mobipocket (other then for Kindles) is a dead format. Makes sense for eBook stores to stop selling it given Amazon's announcement.

Too later after all
Thank you for the replies.

It appears that I am too late after all. Perhaps someone will figure out how to setup a used ebook store.

Maybe I'll have better luck next month.

Enjoy your read everyone.

A nice thought. Unfortuately, we don't purchase e-books, we purchase only a non-transferrable license to read them. I expect e-books to decimate the used book market. Oh, used books won't disappear, but the size of the inventory will be a shadow of its former self. It's one of the reasons my older sister hates e-books. "Evil," she says. "Perhaps," I reply, "but oh so convenient."

We'll be looking for you. The nominations for December's book start in one week. The category is Classics.

Do You Ever Give UP..? Mobi *isn't* a dead format. Just ask the thousands of Kindle users who daily read books in mobi format.

We get it. You don't like Amazon and you don't like Kindles. Give it a #$%# rest.

Did you actually read the part that says (other then for Kindles)? This has nothing to do with liking Kindles or not liking Kindles. The reality is that Mobipocket as a format for purchase is dead. Sure, when the DRM is stripped from an AZW you get a Mobipocket file. But the issue is that Amazon is killing off Mobipocket (with the standard Mobipocket DRM). So basically, what we will have will be ePub, AZW, & KF8.
