exactly how i feel !!! i really hope the publishers will start making ebooks of some of their back-catalogue soon, but they are already so slow with their *new* books i'm not too optimisitic. i might have a better chance waiting until he falls in the public domain (not till 2029

).

Good idea. Plus the Livre de Poche's paper sometimes gives me asthma (!!!!) so it's a must.

zelda_pinwheel · 09-27-2009, 08:42 AM

yep... they are cheap editions, and you can tell.

Well, we could transfer there

(How one do transfer?)

That could be a nice class of applied moderation... I'll try to merge the threads, if someone objects, I'll ask another mod to separate them (frankly, I don't think I could pull it off!

)

EDIT: I did it! Is everyone's head still on? No one's hurt?

And the list goes on and on and on and on...

Oooh! Yes Auel, I agree!

Boris Vian (the day his books are available, i will buy all of them, even though i already have them in paper)
Léo Malet (same)
Fred Vargas (i keep hoping for her next one to be released as an ebook... fingers crossed...)
Daniel Pennac
Romain Gary / Emile Ajar
...

You and I, reading soul mates. Quenneau is not on this list, is he in e-books already?

above all because most of his books are a mess to track here.

Yay, another soul mate!

I need to add: all school material!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Articles, translation theory books and plenty, plenty of dictionaries: bilingual, specialized (i.e.:economy, finance), themed, reversed, and so many others. It would make my life way easier.

Here are three I would buy today, if I could find Kindle or Kindle-compatible editions:

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character) by Richard P. Feynman & Ralph Leighton.

True Compass: A Memoir by Edward M. Kennedy

The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings by Bart D. Ehrman

I've lost count of the times I've clicked on the "Tell the Publisher! I’d like to read this book on Kindle" link at Amazon.

I'd love to re-read those Donaldson - Thomas Covenant books again. Are they still not available ebook wise? I don't think I've even read the Final Chronicles, but own it in pbook form.

Also most of your other SF list is on my to-reread-in-ebook form.
