Sadly, I had to select never - I would, if only there were any libraries in NZ that had ebooks ....

Have you asked your local library if it's possible? |

As for not liking ePub, it's not ePub's fault, but the fault of the publisher poorly formatting the ePub eBooks. What I do is strip the DRM, fix up the CSS some and then I am good to go. I even strip the DRM n library eBooks otherwise, I would not be able to have a pleasurable read. |

Which you can't, and which is why I prefer PDF, specifically made up for a 5" screen (I found out it works perfectly on my 6" screen as well). But I agree, PDF, not made specifically for a 5 or 6 inch screen, will almost never really look good. |

And I know, with the right implementation, that page number can be completely gone, as my 6" reader doesn't show it at all. But I still don't use the epubs I have (I format-shift my books to epub, from there to mobi and from the same sources to PDF), but the PDF files. |

I agree that it would be nice if Amazon, B&N, Apple and Smashwords had a 'rebate' program similar to Fictionwise's, but I haven't seen that yet. Not that B&N *couldn't* do this if one has a B&N membership card... Derek |

Supposedly the Agency agreements don't allow for these kinds of programs for agency titles. I suppose they could do it for everyone elses titles but it might cause to much confusion with consumers.
