So am I. I actually own the SoIaF hardcopy books. I got the ebooks to kill time, hoping that A Feast For Crows would be released by the time I finished. It wasn't so I started reading Farseer, then Live Ship, then Tawny Man. Now I don't know what to read!


SPOILER
I actually liked Farseer better than Tawny Man, even though Tawny did a good job of tieing up loose ends, it didn't have the impact that Farseer had for me. I wanted to see more of Fitz' berserker self and I wanted to see him regain the Skill that he lost when he was a child. Kettle and Verity imply that Fitz was been VERY strong in the Skill, but in Tawny Man, he's one of the weakest Skill users in the book. Oh well... still a good story.[/b]

1.) Dan Brown - The DaVinci Code
2.) Margaret Atwood - The Blind Assassin
3.) Mercedes Lackey - "Arrows of the Queen" series

I *heart* Palm Digital Media. I actually liked Dan Brown's other books maybe even a little bit more than The DaVinci Code. He's not the most skilled writer in a technical sense, but his plots keep me on the edge of my seat.

I am looking forward to reading some George R.R. Martin. Right now I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman...it's very interesting.

Fictionwise used to have the first two GRR Martin books in a combined edition for $6.99. If you are lucky PDM will have them in their format as well.

If not, am I right in thinking that you can read Mobipocket format on Palm Reader?

They still do:
Song of Ice and Fire I & II

I already have the PDM versions, as I really don't like Mobipocket. I am so picky about my reader software...I ditched uBook because it just wasn't friendly enough for me.

I just have so many books on there to read it's ridiculous. I haven't gotten to half of them yet. My bookshelves would be full to overflowing if I had all the books on my SD card running around the house.

Of course, I plan on going to a giant local booksale this weekend with 50 cent paperbacks and 1 dollar hardcovers. :drool:

My library always has paperbacks for 50 cents and hard covers for a buck. Sometimes you can even find a current best seller.

I got several WIlliam Gibson paper backs books recently. Cost me a buck.

[divajess]

This is a giant PTA book sale that always has really current books during the sale every year. I *adore* it.

Believe it or not The Name of the Rose is in the top 10 books ever bought and least read together with One Hundred Years of Solitude - another great book.

1) Honor Harrington series, by David Weber. Great science fiction. I've read only two in ebook format—ebooks are better than the cheap paperback versions of the books (where the ink smears when you rub it), but the hardcover versions are much nicer than the ebooks.
2) Sabriel, Lireal, and Abhorsen, by Garth Nix. (Available at PDM.) YA fantasty set in an extremely well realized world. I read these in hardcover. I don't have a credit card, so how am I supposed to get an ebook from PDM?
3) The various novels of Valdemar, by Mercedes Lackey (Heralds of Valdemar series: Arrows of the Queen, Arrow's Flight, Arrow's Fall. Mage Winds: Winds of Fate, Winds of Change, Winds of Fury. Mage Storms: Storm Warning, Storm Rising, Storm Breaking. Also many more that I haven't read.). At the time I read these, I wasn't even aware of ebooks as anything but a novelty that require an expensive RCA doicky to view.

Palm Digital Media (I still like to call it Peanut Press and Peanut Reader for obvious reasons :lol has some of Peter Hamilton's books, particularly the Night's Dawn series:

Just starting to go through William Gibson's stuff (while waiting for George Martin's Feast of Crows).

My favorites of all time are Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky and A Fire Upon the Deep.
