I bought the set.

Belfaborac · 03-28-2012, 03:06 AM

Seen the movies, won't buy the books. My TBR list stretches well beyond my own projected expiry date as it is.

Just waiting for my credit card to close.

Picked up 1& 2. Will get the others as I go along. Nice and convenient to have them in ebook, finally, as I do not pirate.

Price was right for me, as was the device portability.

Chi Cygni · 03-28-2012, 04:17 PM

I will probably buy them when translation is available... I COULD read them in English but I prefer in my own language. And I have them all as pbooks anyway. Fun fact, I only really like the first 3 and half of the 4th, after that it dragged a bit (don't throw your hard covers at me)

Fan boys are captured
They're under her spell
I guess They'll never learn
Autographed pictures and plushie owls
Another paycheck burned

Are they for real?
It's so hard to tell
Look at their magazines
A huge cash cow, endless money well
Look at the fan boy bling

I'll wait
'Til the price comes down
Money's tight times are hard
No way
I would spend eight bucks
The books were just par

Man, this song just writes itself...

With the economy, spending $56 on copies of books I've already got, just not gonna happen. If I was better off, or if this had been done years ago (before I got the hard covers, and paper backs, etc), it'd be a different story.

I love that pic of "Fluffy". I hadn't seen that before. LOL I'd feel bad for the dog, but the kid looks more depressed.

Pity this poor girl @ 3:10

I chose

I'm going to buy them, very soon.

Not sure if I'm going to buy them all I did buy the first book in the UK version because I'm curious to see how it compares to the US version.

crossi · 03-31-2012, 02:22 PM

I wish they had come out before I bought the last 4 hardbacks. I really want to get those huge things off my shelves but I hate the idea of buying them twice. It wouldn't hurt as much one at a time (and the first one is still my favorite) but if I'm going to eventually buy them all the package saves me $8. I'll wait. I've got enough to read right now anyway.

bob123 · 03-31-2012, 04:57 PM

What I don`t get is why in Canada I can only buy the UK ebooks, and the US audio books. That does not make much sense.
Where is the "I am going get them from the library" option?

wizwor · 03-31-2012, 09:17 PM

Having purchased at least one of each of the texts (two of most, three of some), I think I am entitled to FREE e-books. Doesn't the same license that says I cannot share an e-book entitle me as a purchaser of the intellectual property access to another form of the same IP?

So if you bought the eBooks would you be entitled to free hardcovers (perhaps less the printing costs)?

Joykins · 03-31-2012, 10:03 PM

Already bought the books in hardback and don't plan on rebuying. I'm checking out the ebooks from the library, though, for quick rereading.
