New Star Trek Amazon only??
So I'm wanting to pre-order Star Trek: Paths of Disharmony for my Nook, and notice that it's only available in Paperback.....however, the other 3 I bought in eBook format.
I went to Amazon, and they list a Kindle version....Nook site, tell the publisher you want this for the Nook. Huh?? Anyone else know if you can pre-order eBooks for the nook or not? I'll buy it from Amazon if I have to, but would rather not. |

Yep.
I checked on Inkmesh and this title appears to be Kindle only. |

Amazon is one of the few ebook vendors that does PRE-orders. Most just sell the book when it is available.

It's because the Kindle 3 is the only reader that can display Klingon.

LOL what about Andorian? That's what this one is about LOL. Maybe some Klingon appearances.

Hmm, I dunno then. You could just get the paperback. Yeah it's a compromise but at least you'll get to appreciate the cool cover art. Wait I just looked at it; get the ebook.

Lol. If Amazon is the only one that carries it, I'll just strip it and convrt it. The cover art is pretty disturbing though. I agree with that.

edited above. I am still not sure about the "Topaz rule". I think you are supposed to see both the page numbers and file size to know it is deDRMable. But I could be wrong. Last edited by Donnageddon; 01-23-2011 at 11:35 PM. |

Also, I think 600 KB is pretty small for a Topaz book. |
