WOOT my father got me an e-reader (a kobo), it seems to be working well. I am delighted, I'm gonna be able to read all sorts of things from long form fanfics from AO3 to, err, books on it, yay!

He also loaned me the Tinker, Tailer, Soldier, Spy novels, and then some bonus spy novels that he had it confused with at first, because flo_nelja made them sound very neat and I had asked him about.

BOOK HIGH NOW

WOOOOT!

If you like any non-AO3 fic, I've been using Grab My Books (grabmybooks.com, imbed it in your browser) to get stuff.

IT'S PRETTY AWESOME! I've been reading way more fic.

OH THANKS FOR THE TIP!!!!!

OH SHIT IT DOESNT WORK WITH THE FIREFOX VERSION IM USING. Guess it's time to update, I'd been putting it off...>_>;

IF YOU MANAGE to get it to read the pdfs all the way through, plz let me know. Mine gets on perfectly well with e-pubs, but eats the last half (or however long it is) out of pdf files.

[salinea]

well, I only tried quickly to see how it reads things, and when i tried it with a random pdf file I had, it was veryveryveryveryvery small text and apparently impossible to zoom, so I used calibre to convert that file to epub anyway...

[salinea]

I put another pdf file in there to test it, it seems to work fine up to the ending of it.

Yeah, des livres ! :-)
Maintenant, j'espère que les Le Carré te plairont, sinon, j'aurai l'air bête ;-)

*rire* je suis sure qu'ils le seront ^^

Yay, ebooks! I absolutely love my ebook reader. Reading a paper book seems positively awkward after two years of electronic reading. What, only one typeface size? And I have to use both hands to hold the book open? Bah!

I BELIEVE YOU.

I was already getting very annoyed by how heavy and unwieldy hardcover books are ^^

Le reader c'est le maaaaaaaaal absolu tu verras ! Moi je carbure aux fics depuis que je l'ai ! Une véritable torture de tous les instants ! ^^

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

une torture délicieuse, donc? ^^

[berylia.livejournal.com]

Clairement !

Les e-readers c'est la vie je crois que tu vas vite le comprendre xD

(et tinker taylor, j'ai vu le film, pas lu les romans mais.... c'est tragiquement slash xD et long. très très très long.(pour le film hein je répète))

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

haha, long et chiant? ou long mais bien quand même?

[marryblack.livejournal.com]

Long mais bien... disons que le scéna en général est sympa et tout mais ya des énormissimes longueurs (genre tu sais le plan "blablabla" *plan d'une minute sur le visage de Gary Oldman le temps que la phrase s'imprègne bien* sauf que c'est sur TOUTE la discussion xD)
Et puis des flashbacks que j'ai trouvé moyennement utiles... après ça avait ses moments mais si je dois le revoir je pense que je m'endort au milieu xD

The original Sherlock Holmes stories are in public domain now. I think that they hold up really well.

If you read the first one (Study in Scarlet) skim the part about the Mormons. It's a bit longer than it needs to be.

Thanks for the rec!
