Books that you wish were at the Connect store - Page 3

FourOhFour · 11-05-2006, 07:50 PM

Doesn't really fit here, but I wish the store had this book with the title spelled correctly. (The Deeper Meaning of Liff)

While I'm here... I'd also like the Riverworld series by Philip José Farmer.

Thanks!

You are welcome! ^_^

Would like the rest! But two are ok right now.

Ditto on Dawkins and Heinlein. Add in all of Marion Zimmer Bradley, Orson Scott Card, David Eddings, and Arthur C. Clarke. (Clear off four of my bookshelves...)

More by the Dalai Lama (what! you say -- non sci-fi??

) would be welcomed as well.

Just ordered a book at amazon _The Making of the Fittest_ because it wasn't on connect -- very irritated...

New releases! I am a pulp fiction reader (not a high brow one as Bob will attest to

) and in order for me to keep my reader, I need to find books at Sony Connect that are readily available from every other ebook vendor on the net. Is it really so hard?

Send me the conversion software, Sony, and I'll get the books ready for ya.

What's pulp fiction? I thought that was a term used for early 20th century books?

pulp fiction, to me, equals mass market paperbacks although I suppose it is a moniker that could be applied to everything fiction that is not serious fiction. Which then begets the question of what is serious fiction.

Me too Jane, though my taste runs towards dectective and mystery books. That's my zone out reading. Gimme some meaty history or culture non-fiction though, for when I want to think.

I'd like to see all of the Nero Wolfe books by Rex Stout. They have 4 but there's over 30 of them.

"The Road" by Cormac McCarthy
"Little Scarlet" by by Walter Mosley

All of Iain M. Banks's books.
All of Tad Williams's books.
The Dune series (original series by Frank Herbert, not the followup stuff by his son).
LotR.

I agree on the Tad Williams and Marion Zimmer Bradley. Would also like to see some Dean Koontz, especially the "Trixie Koontz" books.

RWood · 11-22-2006, 10:04 PM

New book: The Tao of Warren Buffett

Old: Doc Savage books

I for one want to see a lot more technical and programming content. A key reason I bought this reader was to be able to carry scads of technical material from customer site to customer site in a very small form factor. www.ebooks.com has a good variety of technical lit in PDF (I think it is DRM'd), but Connect is VERY light in this department. I don't mind paying for the books which can run well over $40 a pop in paper form, I just don't want to carry them around. I have sent an email to the Connect customer support about this, but have not heard anything yet.

I would also like to see periodical subscriptions available as eBooks. There are a lot more newspapers and magazines (no perfume samples) that I would read if I had them with me. (I would even accept Ad Pages - why not? I do in paper)

I have been an early adopter before, so I am not daunted yet, and there is enough to read for now to keep me interested. The Sony rep I spoke to at Borders told me more was coming, but I would love to know when.
