It's been a while since I bought any new books, just been too busy during the summer.

So today I purchased Forest Mage, at a horrible price - why are her new books twice the price of the last series???

To make it worse, the MS Reader thing totally sucked. I'm using a new PC and I have no idea what my old activation info was. So I download Reader and start a new passport account to active it.

All I can say is thank goodness for ConvertLit. I still have all the .lit books I've bought, but none will now open in the new Reader I have. As it happens I was smart enough to change them all to unprotected Mobipocket format some time ago or I would have been stuffed.

So after much messing around, I get the cool new graphical version of ConvertLit and I'm ready to roll. I then have to the latest Mobipocket ebook creator app to actually make my book.

Finally, I have something to actually read - talk about hard work.

I'm also looking forward to getting my new PPC, my Smartphone screen is not the greatest for reading - especially since I've been so spoiled with my VGA Zaurus.
