If a kindle novel costs $2 less then the paper back version. Caution math ahead - at a cost of $360 per kindle 2/$2 less per novel that would mean that one would need to purchase 180 novels to make the unit pay off. Assuming that one is not a fast reader and reads one novel per month thats 15...

I tend to the thriller novels and it seems to me that demille tends to write some thriller novels and some that are not so. So I am not as nuts about his works as some of the others in here are.

I can offer Robert a way to get cheaper books from Borders. Go to borders.com/online/store/BRLandingView and create an account and login. As you purchase items from them they will email you cupons for further purchases. Cupons are typically between 20 - 25% and around the holidays they can go...

A pal of mine once told me that modern society is running into a technical problem with wireless devices. There are so many of them running around these days transmitting all sorts of data that modern society is running out of wireless channels to use at any given point in time. While the...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I belive that Dune is classified as Science Fiction while Lord of the Rings is Fantasy. This puts the two of them in different catagorys from which there is no comparison. Dune would compete with such epics as Star Wars and Star Trek, which are the giants of...

I would like to see how forum members respond to this analysis of the Kindle. I have been rather put off by the Kindle becuase I have analyzed it on a cost/benefits ratio. in other words the benefits of using the Kindle need to outway the costs of using it. The only benefit that I can see to...

from what I understand cussler only writes a small fraction of the novels under his name. In my humble opinion some of the other authors have not managed the ability to keep the reader focused and the book liniar. There used to be Tom Clancey, but from what I understand at this point he is...

I tend to like Micahel Connelly a lot, who else do you think I would like if I like him?

Ok, a friend asked me this question and I am curious what you all think. If there are public libraries just about everywhere why would one ever need to go to a book store? Why pay for a novel when you can read it for free?

read them all.

I would like to see what forum members think on what should be next on my to be read stack. I am a typical male when it comes to books. I like thrillers, political ones in particular those where the President of the US is involved in some manner. I typically like those books that are part of...

I have a list of several authors that I like to read. Every once in a while I am taken by suprise that one of these authors have published something new. What I would like is some sort of internet service that will e-mail me when any author on a list that I specify publishes something. What...

What is the best read of any novel published in 2005?

Mack Bolan (aka the executioner spent thirty-eight books and something like fifteen years fighting the mob and came very close to brining it to its knees.

Perhaps I am dense, but I do not get it. What's a warning log? I think that it is something that keeps track of where a viewer is at a point in time. When you say someone is ok with the warning log what is that person being told? Perhaps I am dense but, I don't quite get it yet.

Do any of you know a web site that lists books that will be published within the next month in both hardback and paperback? How about an author tracker, so to speak, where I type in the name of an author and I get what books he/she intends to publish in the near future, next month or two? I...

Has Mr. Potter done a service for fantasy litterature by exposing a greater portion of the book reading population to fantasy litterature?

When does a mystery book become a horror novel? Where is the dividing line?
