[geeks] Ebooks, baen, and honor harrington

[Chris Byrne]

All,

For xmas I got a palm tungsten t, and with the new screen and it's size
I've stopped carrying a book around in my bag with me and Im just taking
my palm pilot loaded with ebooks.

Another of my presents was War of Honor from David Weber, the latest in
the Honor Harrington series. Ive read the first five, and was planning
on reading the rest, and Bane has dones something amazing with this
book. Bound into the book is a cd-rom with ALL of The Honor Harrington
series including war of honor. It also has 20 or so other books mostly
from Weber, and from Eric Flint who collaborate a lot and who runs the
Baen Free library. I think this is a GREAT idea. I would gladly pay the
almost $30 for a harcover if I could get 20 other books as ebooks inside
it. Or hell even five or six. I wish every publisher did this.
Especially when they reach a milestone like the tenth book in a series.
Theres very little I hate more in the reading world thant missing one
book in a series, especially if that book is out of print or otherwise
unavailable. 

Anyway I've managed to grab a bunch of my favorites in various ebook
format from online (almost all of which I already own. I believe in
compensating the author for their work if for no oher reason than to
make sure they write more) but Im having rouble finding a lot of them.
Basically what Im trying to do is get an ebook of just about every book
I own if possible. Im sure they are out there, its just a matter of
finding them (preferably not buying them again).

And of course Im always open to suggestions on reading material. I have
at least one of the books in most of the above series, and a heck of a
lot of boks from these and other authors, plus a bunch of technical
books that I can send off to people now that Im back in the land of high
bandwidth connections.

Actually that reminds me Bill, I never sent you all those tech books., I
can easily do that now. Send me a drop point by private email and ill
pack them off to you. Zipped up they total about a gig or a gig and a
half.
