Yeah I saw that after posting my comment. Now I just don't feel like jumping through hoops to have them take my money. I'll stick to the pbooks.

CRussel · 03-27-2012, 02:22 PM

I already have unauthorized copies, but now it's time to pony up and buy the official ones. May take me a few weeks of saving up, but it must be done.

Interestingly, I only have a choice to buy the UK versions, not the US versions. (But for audio books, I only get the Jim Dale US ones. ) Sometimes Geo-restrictions are just weird.

I would imagine the two account, buy as a gift trick will work for getting the US version if you want it.

I ordered them when I saw they were available this morning. They are all downloaded and safe in Calibre. Now I can finally give away my big honking hardcovers.

I've had the audiobooks for a number of years and just bought the ebooks. It's all part of a space-saving endeavour on my part. I have too many pbooks to fit in my existing space

Yahoo, I'm on my way to do it right now

Got the UK bundle.

Starearedkid · 03-27-2012, 10:10 PM

I am planning on buying them--but I just had to order a new debit card, so I am waiting for that. Plus my birthday is in 1.5 weeks, so I just gave major hints to my husband for the set

(Since you can buy it as a gift)

Xanthe · 03-27-2012, 10:27 PM

Haven't read them, not planning on buying them.

caleb72 · 03-27-2012, 10:29 PM

I said I think I'd wait, but not necessarily for the price to come down. With all the excitement I realised that I'm unlikely to read them right now so I might as well wait until I'm ready to read them.

Of course if there's some gangbuster sale and everything is suddenly 50% off I might be tempted to buy them anyway, but otherwise there really isn't any rush.

This.

I put I'm going to buy them. I already bought one and plan to get them one by one.

By-the-way, I have the US version and I have to say it's the best formatted eBook I've seen. I have the complete set in hardback but at least on a Sony T-1 I find like it better than the paper version. The art work is crisper and more interesting and the experience feelos more intimate.
