Don Wrote:I went through the MobiPocket site, and couldn't find any F. Paul Wilson books. Anyone know where I can find some electronic versions to load onto my Blackberry?
Don Wrote:Thanks, gents. I also went to Memoware, but they didn't have anything at all.
Unbelievable how John Connolly's latest is offered as electronic for $18.... (if you like Repairman Jack, you might be interested in Charlie Parker)
But me, I'm trying to find the best way to get Mr. Wilson's (or is that "Winslow"?) books. This time next year, I'll be in Afghanistan, and ordering them from Amazon or Books-a-million can take weeks.

Don Wrote:Oh, pish, tosh.
Seriously, though: When I can carry the entire F. Paul Wilson collection (and who wouldn't want that?!?) on one gizmo that fits in my backpack with everything else....
Well, surely God wouldn't be affronted by that, now would He?
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:That's a telling point, Dave. Who can know the mind of God? But a book is a good friend. One you can always count on to teach, entertain, or comfort you. They have merits a souless electronic gadget could =never= match.I believe you're talking about the page, not the words. I read the same words on a page that I read on my electronic gadget; the difference is the smell, the feel, etc. So I still learn, I still am entertained; but the experience is different.
But if electronic books drive Barnes&Noble out of business, well, I guess I'll just have to go back to selling drugs to children again.ad:

As for your alternative method of employment...well, I wasn't ready for that thought.... hocked:
