Know what would really be the pits? If the e-book wars were extended to reading glasses! Imagine if each company's eyewear could only read books and magazines published by their own company. Hey, with the advances in technology such as the now experimental computer chip contact lenses, it could happen!

Several hundreds of Perry Rhodan books are also available in Dutch. If you search well enough in dark places. It probably is one of the most requested series of eBooks

The question isn't: Are they after you, but are you paranoid enough

If everyone was out to get you, you'd be paranoid too! My tin foil hat helps, but it doesn't stop all the secret government brainwave broadcasts. Besides; I think the aliens have developed ways around it.

Well, that majority of people (est 82%) in the US speak English... but it is by no means the only language spoken. I think 10% or more speak Spanish and 2% or so speak an Asian language.

But, yes having non-English language ebooks in the Kindle store would certainly be low volume of sales, but then again, isn't "the long tail" the whole point of Amazon in the first place?

Dag! Doesn't anyone remember the days of good, old-fashioned double-exposure

I took this picture back in the 80s. If I had to do over again, I would stand further back from the cup and saucer. It's too big for the background. It was neat how the blue in the cup blended in so perfectly with the sky, but I didn't plan it that way. It was pure serendipity.

I do! Well, I remember seeing reading about it and seeing examples anyways. Sadly I never owned a camera without a shutter lock (or a way to override it).

I believe the plural of liseuse is liseusi.
