I know it seems like a "well, duh" to most of us and kind of stupid to make a study to show it but I think we could actually use MORE studies like this "duh" one. There is way to much "general wisdom" by people and companies who see something a certain way and can point to being right in their...

Digital? Physical? As a wise child from the lands of advertisement once said, "Why not both?" Generally, if I would get it as a paperback I get it as an e-book. This also includes new authors and small print houses that do more and more digital to get their people out there. I've gone through...

The Green Egg is ceramic, the Red "Egg" is doublewalled steel. Still a good grill/smoker, especially at the price difference.

Seems that something like that is being led by the smaller publishers first. Several are doing exactly that. One that comes to mind is Angry Robot press. They have deals with indie stores that when you buy the hard copy you get the ebook free. Oddly enough, they reported that when they tried it...

Recovery speeds up the recycle on your encounter powers. Movement affects...well, moving. How much faster you move than normal.

I suppose I will be in the minority but...YES! Raise the cap from 10,000 to 40,000. They NEED to send those takedowns to prevent loss of business. The digital works of these companies are extremely valuable and those who affect them should be held accountable! Of course, I mean ALL who...

I generally use Aikido and Stanza (though Stanza is a bit hard to get now since they were bought up). They work well for me because they have tintable backgrounds and good control of screen use. Even the standard Kindle program for Android and OS really isn't that bad on a tablet. Background...

As for reading on a tablet, OrangeWolf is right. It is extremely dependent on the reader software. You will go through several before you find one that you like. It makes all the difference.

Depending on the size of reader and what is being read (as in technical manuals with lots of pictures and graphs or just general text reading), a lot of people are using eink and tablets interchangeably now. A few years back it made a big difference but now...not so much. However this is...

With over 2000 ebooks in my virtual library, I have no worries that any of the vendors I've bought them from will ever delete or render them unable to be read. That would be because none of them have any DRM on them. (I'm sure you've heard of those horrible, horrible scofflaws who remove the DRM...

Well, that's part of the use of the tools suite for Calibre. The reason they say you can only read B&N or Amazon books on their respective readers is due to DRM. With the DRM even though you paid for the book legally and like a fine upstanding member of society, you are (as they've told you)...

Oooorrrr you could back up a copy when you change/add info to Keepass to avoid the risk of corrupt data. In my case, USB since I don't make changes often and have a key that stores copies of all important info for emergency use. I don't have to use the USB for my on the go use since Keepass is...

Just making sure you knew that you weren't necessarily "locked in" to anyone's reader just because you bought it from their store. When a good sale or special comes on from Amazon, B&N or any other house at a good price it's comforting to know you can put it on any reader so you can concentrate...

First house? Had that by level 4. That and a bit extra. Riverwood. Hod. Chop wood. All day. Slowly walk you massively over-encumbered carcass to him. Sell for 5 gold a stick. After you have enough money swear you will never do that again (though it IS easy to do while also watching TV or...

Well..... I've been reading ebooks for a bit now (little over 1900 titles in my elibray) and will just ask a couple things. 1) what format are your existing books in? And 2) do you know about Calibre and the tools pack that goes with it?

Go to "Tools", "Quick Correct", "Smart Quotes". The default setting for double quotation marks is curly. To make curly double quotation marks straight, choose the straight double quotation mark from the "Open" and "Close" dropdown menu located to the right of "Use double quotation marks as...

Already out for PS3. Surprised me. Thought it would be longer but...

Well, it won't play your files if you don't point it to them. It does have some installed as a default but you can point the player to your own files instead.

If it's a first gen Sony like you say it could just be out of room since all ebooks are not created equal. Pure text ones take up significantly less room than ones with pictures (or even comics). Might check you sizes. But I do agree with liking my reader. Readers, I should say. First gen...

Errr, actually the origins of the DC super-mutants WAS explained. In fact you would have had to go out of your way to miss it since it took place during the main quest. Though I suppose if you just ran through and did exactly what you had to do to complete the main quest only (and no more)...
