TrustMe Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) I agree. I tried reading the Silmarillion once and I nearly blew my mind off with all the pronunciations. Edited April 19 by TrustMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike1158 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I got the Culture series book, printed for Orbit publishing. The joys of getting older mean that a font size of 8 and tight/close print style may make for a book that is cheaper to print and ship but is a pain to try to read. Pointless. Take into account the smdged print, ompossible to actually read and enjoy the process. Annoyed beyond this mornings return experience with amazon and trying to get royal slug to do the job right. This time at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike1158 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 My phone is like me, dumb, err hang on. Alternate adjective somewhere....... As far as the swindle goes, not a fan. My neighbour has one and it is forever falling over, needing to be reset to factory settings etc. She can never get access to her books for more than a day or two and hamazon just cannot get this sorted. As a Trekkie I thought I would love all the tech but truth is, I bleeding well hate it. Give me a book I can hold and real pages I can turn and I am a happy camper.

TrustMe Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I can understand the tech thing as my sister won't use a kindle at all. A bad thing about the kindle is that on paper books VAT is not added, but for electronic books like on the a kindle VAT it is charged at 20%. Sometimes the kindle is more expensive than a paper book which is weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
