Nightworld format and other stuff... - vain_c - 06-01-2012
Hi guys, was wondering whether Nightworld will be published in paperback format? I'm currently beginning my collection of all RJ and AC books. I don't really mind Nightworld in hardcover since it's soooo awesome, but I prefer to lug books around so a paperback would be more convenient.
Also, I live in Singapore, so the only way I'm getting my dose of RJ is either from the library or buying them online. Problem is the Library Board here takes damn long to process the books and ship it here (I had to wait almost a year for Fatal Error, and that was after I sent an email requesting them to bring it in).
With online, I'm currently using mostly BookDepository and Amazon to get them. I'm wondering if anyone has any other websites that are affordable and preferably has free shipping like BookDepo. Amazon is great since it has most titles, but I'm charged quite a bit for shipping since I'm not living in the States, whereas BookDepo provides free shipping but doesn't have certain titles.
Any help would be much appreciated!

It usually takes about a year for the books to make it to paperback. I'm not sure what's being done with the Nightworld re-release.

This isn't really an answer to your question, but a suggestion. If you like lugging your books around, would you consider buying a Kindle or Nook? I was adverse to buying a Kindle until last Summer--now I love it. It really feels great just downloading a title instead of waiting for it to be shipped or heading out to the bookstore. The titles are cheaper, and you can get a decent sample downloaded for free to see if a particular title is your cup of tea or not.
I still buy "real" books, but now usually they're either titles I seriously doubt will ever make it to Kindle, or at least not in the forseeable future, or they are books I love so much I want a "physical" copy for posterity. FPW makes that list, and I will start collecting the hardcover first editions of his work after I finish the titles I have on my Kindle, which is almost all of them.
I thought I would hate the Kindle experience, and I suppose some people do, but I actually like it. Sorry in advance if this comment isn't of any value to you, just thought I'd throw it out there and maybe give you a solution to your problem you hadn't considered.
