(Today I discovered that if you search for "ebook chronicles donaldson" in google, the second result is "Amazon.com: Audrey's Anal Punishment: Erotic Chronicles eBook: Larson Donaldson". [Does google tailor it's search results to match my search history?])

And you are rediculously easy to impress. Wink

I sent mail to Romeo about the e-books. Maybe some news will come back.

I hope you get some feedback on the schedule. I've tried checking the publisher for a release date but no luck. I lost all my books to a fire a few years back and invested in an ebook reader. So this is something I have been very excited about. I've been chomping at the bit for April to get here!

Just saw the update on the news link that TC1 will be released as ebooks on 5/16. Oh well, I suppose I can wait for another month.

Excellent news! Looks like all three volumes of the first Chrons will be released the same day. Banana

In case anyone is interested I thought I would post a short review on my perceived quality of the newly released TC1 ebooks. Let me be upfront in admitting I have not completed all 3 novels of TC1 yet. I am about 2/3 of the way through TIW.
Overall I am happy with the quality. There are no glaring issues such as omissions or incorrect sequencing. There are several typos of various sorts. At a guess ( I did not count them ) I would say something like 1 every ten pages. The vast majority of these typos are very minor and your brain will correct them almost before you notice them, mor instead of more or he instead of she, as examples. A few however are more serious perhaps an entirely incorrect word with a (stretch of the imagination here) somewhat similar spelling. These have made me actually have to stop and think a bit about them before I figured out what was intended. This is rare though, maybe 3-4 times in nearly 2 books. Overall I did not find the typos a huge distraction but it is defnitely noticable. Also, having read these books dozens of times over the past 30ish years, it may be a less significant problem for me than new readers would find it. Just saying...
Summary: If you are like me and have invested in an ereader and you are a fan of TC I think they are worth the money. I intend to buy TC2 as they become available.

For what it is worth.

There's a button on Google now (at least on modern browsers - google reverts to old style if you can't support the current version) that lets you choose whether or not to use personal results (two icons, one a silhouette of head and shoulders, other a globe, top of search results). I'm not sure how exactly it affects them, though.

Thanks, Absolam!

They sound about as good as any other e-book, and better than most.

Personally, I hate when they insert a paragraph break where there should not be one. And I really, really hate when they remove the extra space that signals a scene change.

BTW, looks like they are going for about $8 U.S. each.

Yes, thanks, Absalom! For all my initial enthusiasm, I confess I forgot about this. I was checking early on to see if I could preorder, but when there wasn't an option for that, it slipped my mind. Bad ali! Whip
