Hello, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Nobody. While I don't know if I will be buying the series in ebook format at the moment I do like mobi and read in the format all the time on my Kindle.

If you're going to complain about people making Mobipocket format available, at least also mention that they do ePub as well.

I'm not sure if that really is ePub or it's iBooks. When people say it's for an iPad, they usually mean iBooks and as we know, iBooks code is not always ePub. So it might not just drop in neatly into a Reader using ADE without some work done to it.

You're not alone, I also primarily use .mobi. I also convert everything in my library to .epub as well (just in case I need it later on), since Calibre makes doing so easy. I just don't get complaints about formats since with Calibre it doesn't really matter, you just convert it to whatever you want/need.

I'm also a primary user of MOBI and its variants. Although I'd prefer AZW3, so maybe I'm not nobody

And there is no DRM so if you have esoteric tastes in e-book formats you can just convert.

The cheapest 9-volume set is in fact $39.99 less discount not reformatted to be better on a specific ereader.

Note that that set is of the original editions, with a screwy time-line because of being written over a thirty year period. It's also only available outside the US, since the author doens't have the US ebook rights.

The "New Millennium" edition contain slightly tweaked text that makes the whole series work on a timeline starting in early 2008.


I have both...
