The E-reader edition is the better bargain, but I'd like the physical book in this case.

The Ebook is the same price as the paperback, unsure how that is a better deal. i :) i

That is one thing that drives me crazy about EBooks, a lot of times you don't save anything by getting it in that format and that format costs them NOTHING to distribute. I get the whole rights thing etc.. but it still costs them a LOT less to not have to print, bind, ship and store a physical version so it should be cheaper period!

That does look interesting, especially playing the game version. I would like to read that.. man I have to find a way to make time to read.

I looked into it, apparently I have some credits that work towards my ebook purchase, if I were to buy one.

What is "buying an Ebook?" i ;) i

I read more, I thought the game was based on this book but this is apparently a book that describes what the game characters did before they got together in the game setting. Kind of weird. i :) i

Ooh, edgy. . . :P

If you want this one, you might have to buy it. Dunno if there's much demand for it on the newsgroups. I wouldn't REALLY waste my time, even for free. It's a bunch of shit, no name authors.

No I am no longer interested once I found out what it was. If it were a normal novel I may have. Besides I just don't have time for anything just so so.
