thanks for the reminder.
It would be nice if we could pack the site with ESL texts, as getting actual print editions abroad can be a huge pain. |

| Would you recommend an ereader in South Korea, or would reading on your computer be better/cheaper/less hassle/less conspicuous? I'm worried about it getting stolen, or being an extra pound or two that could be better used in my suitcase/carry on. |

I love mine... But then again I also hate shelling out 10-20k for a paperback ;D |

I have the iriver story, i love it. I am currently building up my library now. I wish people would name the files consistently, the amount of time I have wasted renaming files.
But peoples reaction? It gets a couple of glances and once or twice people have asked to look at it, but in general it's ignored as pretty much everything else is on the subway |

| I downloaded the 13130 science fiction and fantasy books torrent, (if you Google the number, you will find the torrent) and the thirteen or so updates since it's completion. I doubt I could read all of them if I did nothing but read for the rest of my life. Some are not formatted so well, but I've yet to encounter one that's incomplete. |

Most of the books are recorded books,
The selection is not that big and the seeding is terrible.
Plus it is almost impossible to keep your ratio up.
On any other Torrent site I have no problem of staying above 1, but here it is just freaking impossible to even get 0.5 |

Yeah it wasn't what I was expecting either. I was hoping for some fiction.
But as to the ratio if you upload some stuff from another site (say demonoid) then your ratio will shoot up.
If some one wants some www.myanonamouse.net invites and will maintain a good ratio pm me (start by downloading some audiobooks with plenty of leaches, the ebooks don't have many leaches) |
