There are tools to convert mobi books to Sony’s LRF, so there shouldn’t be a problem for you. It works just fine with the free Tor books. See https://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ and the included mobi2lrf tool.

Anyway, looking forward to Zoe’s Tale.

Anywayz, I was definitely excited when I opened up my Tor email this morning and saw it. I was also excited when I finally realized that I could put Acrobat reader on my Treo and read all the Tor books I’ve gotten on my PHONE.

Man, the future is awesome. As a young geek I never would have thought that I’d be reading sci-fi books on my portable phone.

Is there any chance that Tor.com will support the Sony reader format for their new electronic books?

John,

got my weekly TOR goodiness e-mail this morning…added the Zoe’s Tale wallpaper to my “my pictures” slideshow I use as my screensaver…cool cool-y coolness indeed.

The problem with the atom feed looks to be that it’s being served via http://scalzi.com/whatever/?feed=atom1
instead of http://scalzi.com/whatever/?feed=atom

We were Doctor Who marathoning and my best friend (who works at Tor – on the site) was working late into the evening to get artist bio’s up because the server was down all day. So I got to SEE it.

It are pretty.
