Jordan's Wheel Of Time series to be released in E-Book form - Page 6

Toxaris · 01-20-2010, 04:49 AM

Strange... I bought the versions from BooksOnBoard (I wanted the US edition) and I have the wrong cover for part 2 (The Great Hunt). I contacted BoB, but they claim they cannot do anything about it and advised me to contact Tor. Big silence from the Tor-side though... Shame, it is only a cover but I really like my covers to be correct....

While in the uk edition, the first one is cut in two images, and the second have it's fancy border cut out. All decoration is taken off.

Sony have also separately posted the maps as PDFs. Check the bottom of the page at:

I'm want to buy book4. And problem there. On books on board, only "e-reader"' version is available.
Waterstone have it as an ePub, but it's the most likely badly formated Uk edtion.
Does anyone know where I can find the US ePub one ?

Sony has the 4th book in ePub. And if you want to PM me, I can help you get a gift card to Sony so you can buy it.

Too much of a mess to bother with.
As sony don't want to sell to me, I won't buy from them unless i HAVE to, period.

Dont forget sony probably DO want to sell to you but the potential risk of a lawsuit from your countries publishers puts them off.

I wonder what would happen if amazon and sony, b&n and others shops desided to side together to say the publishers "we're selling worldwide or not at all". They can do it, they don't want to do it.

Toxaris · 01-25-2010, 03:42 PM

I actually mailed BoB about this. Besides the usual bla bla about the different formats, they claim that it will become available in ePub at their site the coming days/weeks. So, hopefully a little patience will help here....

Toxaris · 01-25-2010, 05:24 PM

They were true to their word. It is available with BoB now. Downside (there always must be one....) is that the price has gone up from approx $10 to $15. Can't have everything. I think I will wait a few weeks to see if the price will go down again.

TallMomof2 · 01-25-2010, 09:43 PM

Fictionwise just put up WOT 4 and it's available in ePub. Too bad I'd already pulled the trigger over at Amazon.

jaxx6166 · 01-25-2010, 10:10 PM

Hrm. I wonder why its available in Sony on your store and not mine...I don't think there's a regional difference between Florida and Mass :-)

Nevermind. Sony's neurosurgeons made it easy to find. You have to type the book name in. You can't just click on the wheel of time page or robert jordan's name.

Pfff !
Still a bit less than what i paid the paperback

WH Smith in the UK had a 50% off sale a few weeks ago and I got WOT4 for £4 (ePub) even though it hadn't been released then. I wasn't brave enough to order the rest of the series, although I could have. Now pondering whether that would have been a smart move to get them all at £4...

Toxaris · 01-26-2010, 01:20 PM

And gone again from BoB....

EowynCarter · 01-26-2010, 02:50 PM

Crap ! I was at work and couldn't get it.
That's annoying.

Yeah, WS Smith have it, and it's even available in france

But it's the UK version...
