Justus R Stone: I suppose that feeling should be liberating, but it's that sudden fear that the idea is too small & will never work as a novel.

Justus R Stone: Then there's that sick feeling of "Hmm, this is pretty good... Shit, this would only give me half of the words I need...What else can I do?"

Justus R Stone: In anticipation of Camp #NaNoWriMo, I'm using #Scrivener in a different way. Putting all my scenes on the corkboard so I can play with flow

Justus R Stone: Just saw on http://t.co/uUyygckH that CW is remaking the 80s series Beauty & the Beast. This brings to mind a simple question... WHY?

I had a first-gen Kobo and ended up ditching it for a second-gen Kindle. I have the best of both worlds. For Canadian books that I can’t buy at Amazon.com, I buy them from Kobo and then convert them to the Kindle format and transfer to my Kindle. It’s not trivial to do this however: you have to unencrypt the Kobo epub version (Adobe Digital Editions) using Python scripts available online, and then use the Calibre ebook management software to convert them to mobi format which you can then transfer to Kindle via USB. I did this with all the ebooks I had previously purchased for Kobo, and recently did it again as I had an Indigo gift card that otherwise I couldn’t use (I don’t buy paper books much anymore).

I’m pretty happy with my Kobo so far. Though the limited selection of Kobo’s site is a bit of a pain. I don’t know. Maybe when my Kobo dies I’ll look at a Kindle.
