I may be forced to get an e-book reader

Post by drl2 » Wed Jul 27, 2011 2:24 pm

... since taking a PC into the bathroom with me is inconvenient, but I suspect I'll be doing a lot of e-book reading in the near future:

Gollancz, the SF and Fantasy imprint of the Orion Publishing Group, announces the launch of the world's largest digital SFF library, the SF Gateway, which will make thousands of out-of-print titles by classic genre authors available as eBooks.

I read as much or more on my Droid phone using the Kindle App, as I do on the Kindle itself. The App is free.

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.
