    I didn't know Gamecock got sold...It is an interesting business shift if ever they do buy the mag.


    I mean how can you be not biased after being a developer? Can he honestly rate a game a "4" or something when it's even better than what they used to make?


    I'm speaking out of my ass here by the way, =D

    Excellent! If Mike Wilson was the guy behind the JOHN ROMERO'S ABOUT TO MAKE YOU HIS BITCH ads, I just can't wait to see what he'd do with an entire magazine!

    @octalass: That POS magazine. It is degrading that Gamepro lasted longer than EGM.


    I am happy the Gamepro people still have a job though...but they suck at what they do.

    I never liked that mag and their "Pro-tips" and pseudo-trying to be cool nicknames.

    I will buy this for the search function alone. I don't have the time to slog through whole novels for that one quote that is applicable to the paper I'm writing in reference to something else. And PDFs take up valuable gaming space on my computer.


    I don't see myself toasting my feet in front of a fire with a glass of brandy and this, though. The screen, it burns.

    You know why e-book readers are so damn big? Because if you could fit them in your pockets, the strain on that tiny text would make your eyes explode. This has bad idea written all over it. I tried reading an e-book on my iPhone...holy hell was that ever a tragic idea.

    I think this is just a wonderful idea. Even though I'm somewhat partial to my PRS-505, I'm happy to see literature reaching the eyes of readers via non-traditional forms of distribution, particularly when the applicable audience is younger than would otherwise be interested in this type of material.


    (Given the last sentence, it's quite a surprise this is even taking place...)

    I'm actually digging this. Don't have a DS but I can see its use. It's hard to read a book in the middle of the night while the wife is sleeping...

    I'll buy it. I enjoy reading classic novels on my Ipod through the .txt files. I hope they're smart enough to use book style for holding the DS :P

    This will be a lot easier then taking the books out from the library.

    I'm actually kind of interested in this. I have this problem that every time I pick up a book I can't pay attention and my mind wanders yet I'm able to read off a screen just fine. I would like to at least try to be less of a dumbass when it comes to literature.

    Hey, nifty. I didn't realize HarperCollins was involved. My wife's YA faerie novel comes out from HarperCollins on May 5 next year. They're a great company and it would be really cool to see some of their non-public-domain stuff on the DS.
