Tiny book roundup is tiny

[annathepiper]

Re-bought electronically from Diane Duane’s site:

• Stealing the Elf-King’s Roses, by Diane Duane. Re-buy of a book previously owned in paperback. This is Ms. Duane’s take on urban fantasy, recently re-issued with new content. Picked this up because I’d been meaning to re-read it, and I’m curious to see how she changed it.

And, bought electronically from Kobo Books:

• Star Trek – Die Anfänge: Alle Romane in einem Band!. This is a German translation of three Star Trek novels, grabbed because I noticed Kobo’s site has got a lot of SF/F in German now, and I was curious about the translations. The novels included are Vonda McIntyre’s Enterprise: The First Adventure, Margaret Wander Bonanno’s Strangers from the Sky, and Diane Carey’s Final Frontier.

230 for the year.

I just ordered a Kobo Touch. I'm kind of excited for it. I'm looking at their store for "books I've been meaning to read for a while now but haven't gotten around to." I should also see if my library can do ebook lending...

Very cool! I haven't personally handled a Kobo device but I've got a Canadian friend who was quite happy with hers.

I've read decent reviews, and, for me, the selling point vs the similarly-priced Kindle Wifi is the SD expansion slot. That, and the dozen filetypes it supports...

I'll see when it gets here! I got the cheaper version (that shows you ads, whatever), which, sadly, only comes in black, not the cute lavender.

Yeah, multiple filetype support FTW. Also, expandability! Being very tempted to stick an SD card into my Nook. After all, how can I read all the books if my device will only hold some of them?

Will be looking for your further thoughts on how the device works for you!
