DYDEETOWN WORLD - 99 cents - Peter - 06-23-2011
Consider it bought, the price isn't really an issue but I was just saying on another thread that I was going to try the LaNague series so I will start here!
I gather it's a bit outside the LaNague books but set in the same world, so is it a good place to start?
And on the subject of cost from what's been said above books are a good 50% more over here than you seem to be paying! I dont have a kindle, I just settle back in a chair and read them off the monitor. Works fine for me.

And you can have your purchased items in multiple locations as well. I have mine on my PC, a phone and my wife's Kindle.(we use the same account so we can share books).
I resisted the Kindle/eBook revolution for a long time, but now that I have given in and use one, I love it. While not perfect in every way (like not being able to lend out books or send books to other people who you want to share with) I have quickly become a big fan.
I could never find an reasonably priced copy of "Virgin", got a Kindle and bam! $2.99 and I finally got a copy to read.

That where I find the real benefit of the kindle is. Out of print books need not fear death. No way I'm buying a brand new book on kindle. It's just no me, I prefer holding a book. Kindle was a gift and I like it in a limited capacity.

Actually, Amazon has recently started a Kindle book lending program. You can loan a Kindle book you own to someone else with a Kindle for (IIRC) two weeks at a time.
It should be in your Kindle menu somewhere - I forget exactly where now. I'm sure there are details and instructions at Amazon.com.

Holy crap. I hadn't heard about this. I am going to look around right now to learn about the details.
Thanks Webby!

I absolutely LOVED Dydeetown World!
To anyone who hasn't read it yet - don't be a buttonhead! Get the 99 cent copy while the getting is good! You won't regret it.

Yes, they are there for as long as, well, as long as Amazon remains in business I guess. I've archived about 60 books that I've finished. It makes keeping my Kindle index a little neater.
I live in a tiny space, and my husband and I are great readers. We just don't have room for books. Our Kindles have been a godsend.
So, Paul, consider the place of honor you hold in my home. I gave away all my other books when I did a massive purge a while back, but not my FPW books. Even though I have duplicates, I didn't give up a one.
I have used the loan function on my Kindle, too. However, I am always mindful of royalties and what they mean to an author. So whenever I can, if I like the author, I'll buy the book.

DYDEETOWN WORLD - 99 cents - Ludovic - 06-24-2011
Hello Mr Wilson!
I don't have Kindle but you were successful to convince me to read this novel!
So I found on Amazon (Germany) a second hand book of "Dydeetown World".
Now, I have a question please:
Do I have to read first "An enemy of the state" or can I read "Dydeetown" directly?
Thanks in advance,
Ludovic

You don't need to read the other LaNague books first.
