I haven't the foggiest, Jilli, but the local independent bookstore down here (Mysterious Galaxy - you met several of them at your signing at Comic-Con) sells Kobos, so might be able to give you some idea, or at least point you to someone who knows. (ph# 858-268-4747)
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Jilli, do they have DRM?
Calibre is a free program that can easily convert book formats. It can also handle DRM but you have to download some extensions and so it's slightly more complex.

Kindle books have DRM.
This post is a great guide to making sure that all your books can be read on all your ereaders.

No prob, Jilli. I'm glad I had to look for it, because I had apparently failed to bookmark the original post, and it's so useful!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Calibre rules all.

Because books.
Did anyone else read The Uninvited Guests by Sadie Jones? It was new last year, I think.
I read it because it's set in the Edwardian era, and it got great reviews, and it was the most fucked up, delightful, chilling little book I've read in a long time. It's a weird mashup of ghost story and comedy of manners, with added splashes of fairy tale and magic realism. I loved it.

I read it. I didn't adore it, but it was fun.

I inhaled it. I think she writes beautifully, when she's not trying too hard, but she included some too-pointed metaphors and imagery ("Maybe someone will teach this book one day!"), too. Overall, it was frothier than I expected it to be, I guess? But it was a lot of fun!
