Default MBD book in German

So, I've taken the plunge into the confusing world of Ebooks. As such, my first book, which has only been available in print in English is now also available via the usual method in GERMAN as an Ebook. Just thought any German speakers may be interested.

So strange to see one of my books on a screen and even stranger when I cannot read it myself

Hmmm.....you taking the p**s?
You're quote is exactly what I say.
My vice is books. Not shoes and handbags but books. There really is nothing like a book in one hand and a cuppa in the other. Not that I get that sort of peace and quiet often enough.

I'm so glad we're on the same wavelength, Gordon.

Nope not taking the pith I don't do much reading to be honest but when it's animal related I do like to read.
It's always there when you want it unlike when you find an article on the Web unless you save it you can never remember where the heck you found it.

I know what you mean. My mother-in-law recently advised me to do an inventory of the entire house. Just listing the books would take me weeks and weeks!

She loves her Kindle but I'm an old fashioned gal and love my paper books. My daughter is exactly the same. I would dread to count how many we've actually got but I reckon in excess of 1000.

So glad to see all this it means I'm not mad myself. I have a large collection myself.

Can you believe I have been quite abused online because of my refusal to have Ebooks.

This MBD book is around 4 years old and was only available in print in English. Likewise it is only available in German as an ebook and not in print. So it will be a good test of the whole situation.

My second book which is over twice the length is only available in English in print. No ebook version as yet. This is called "The Arcadia Guide to reptile and Amphibian Nutrition"

My latest book, near 400 pages is due out in print only in May. This is to be called "Bio-Activity and the Theory of Wild Re-Creation"

I can't wait to get it in my hands, the weight, smell, feel of new print

John
