Ah, our editor must be a fan of Karl Schroeder? I recently read my first ebook on my iPad 2 (a gift from work) and it was reason to read many more. There indeed seems to be a few nice things about this ebook thing, although I still eschew purchasing books in e-only package.

Catching up with Calibre Posted Sep 1, 2011 14:48 UTC (Thu) by lonihpc (guest, #60920) [Link] Karl Schroeder and Greg Egan. That book isn't even out yet! I assume it was ePUBized from the excerpt available on the author's website. Excellent taste, Mr. Corbet, on both counts. I consider Diaspora the sf novel with the highest ideas-to-page-count ratio ever.
The Clockwork Rocket Posted Sep 1, 2011 14:59 UTC (Thu) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] Clockwork Rocket is out, actually; I nearly bought the dead-trees version but held off; later I found it much cheaper in the electronic format.

Damn you for pointing me at that! Now I'm digging through his ridiculously comprehensive information pages rather than doing any work. (Is there anyone else in the SF world who shows his working to this degree? Hal Clement, Poul Anderson, and, more recently, Peter Watts all do it to some degree, but nothing like *this*.)
