I have recently purchased a Nook Book. I did so because the number of books I purchase leads to my having cases of books and I would like to keep them. However; ever so often I have to moe them out in order to have room for more. I would like to keep my books and reread them. I have a number of your books, which I will not list. I thought that getting an ereader would alleviate my storage problem. Unfortunately your books do not appear to be available in this media. Will this be changing soon, or will I have to get rid of older books to make room for new ones? I am an avid fan of the Honor Series and the Safehold Series.

You can find all of the Baen books on the CDs in the back of the books. You can also find them http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/

The program Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ converts between ebook formats, it should be able to convert the books to a format that the Nook supports. ------------

I started reading Safehold in paper form.
After I got my Kindle, I re-purchased books 1, 2, and 3 in ebook form. Book #4 (the latest one in the series) I bought in ebook form only. Book #5 is due out in September/2011 in paper form and I am told will be available in ebook form some weeks/months later. I intend waiting until I can purchase it in ebook form (My book shelves are in grave danger of bending in two and I also OFTEN re-read the books I do have). I believe, if I wait long enough, all the stories that interest me will be available in electronic form. Or, to put it another way, I am no longer planning on buying ANYTHING that is not in electronic form. Anyway, NOT reading those stories, that are in paper form only, won't kill me :) ..//* *\\

I have purchased from Amazon.com all Safehold books so far {Books 1, 2, 3, and 4} and read them on my kindle and also on my kindle reader software on my PC. Also, I bought some of the other DW books (Out of the Dark --- The Excalibur Alternative --- The Honor of the Queen --- In Fury Born) to name a few, from other ebook vendors like bean.com. For bean in particular, I needed to specify the format I wanted to download <the file type ".mobi" is readable on my kindle>. You might want to look at these and other possibilities. ..//* *\\

Hi guys
I just learned from another forum, that the Safehold series books (all 5 of them so far as well as a posiblity of pre-ordering book @6) can be purchased in ebook form from Barnes and Nobel <BN>. I believe this means these books can be red on a Nook. Just say'n R ..//* *\\
