looking for "The Vast Spread of the Seas" (The Twelve Kingdoms #3)

wgabi · 02-05-2012, 06:11 AM

i'm not sure where to post this, i couldn't find a specific thread to do so... therefore i chose "General Discussions" please point me to the right direction if i'm wrong

i like fantasy books and decided to read "The Twelve Kingdoms" from "Fuyumi Ono", i did find volumes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 but not the third one. i can find paperback editions everywhere, but not one ebook :-(

does anyone know where to get it, buy it, download it, or any other way... as long as it's in an ebook format?

thanks

There are many books that are not available as eBooks. Why not read it in paperback?

I think you'll have to read it in paperback. I do not think it was issued as an ebook. If it was, it is no longer available in that format.

And you had better get it rather quickly. This series was published by TokyoPop. That company went out of business last year, so with the exception of a few manga series that were picked up by other publishers, their titles are basically no longer in print.

ohhh... :-( i wanted in ebook, since i have the rest already, but i guess i don't have any other options, but get a paperback. i do have problem with deliveries every now and then, i live in a building which was a hotel before, and to get my mail is a great challenge sometimes, that is the other reason why i like ebooks

thanks for the info

Wow, I didn't know there was a translation at all of these novels... but the anime series is one of my favorites.

wgabi, I see you listed as being in Gibraltar? Are these still in print in Europe? Only the US branch of TokyoPop was shut down. The German branch is still in operation (in German of course), but I checked Amazon.de and there don't seem to be any ebook version of the titles.

Actually, I am not sure there are many ebooks of manga. It's not very well-suited for ebooks.

Yeah, I know what you mean about preferring to have all of the books in a series before reading them, at least fantasy and sci-fi series, unless they are long-running ones. The only exception I have made is George Martin's Game of Thrones series, since he is takes forever to write new additions.

i couldn't find the ebook versions to buy either, my friend had the first two and the 4th volumes in pdf, that's how i got interested... then i saw that only the first 4 volumes are out in english... i was about to give up, but i've found the last three online, they were posted in html for online reading, (so i just saved the text - oops) not official releases, i think...

this how i ended up chasing the missing third one
