As an Apple shareholder, this should make me sad but I'll get over it.
Now my decision is what to buy in the way of eBooks (Kindle)
My first choices were oldies but goodies. Since I generally pre-order anything from MWW that is not Baen and I always get the monthly bundles from Baen, I have been digging for fondly remembered dead-tree equivalents.
Happy to discover that Janet Kagan, who was taken from us far too young, has both "Mirabile" and "Hellspark" in Kindle plus a collection of her shorts as "The Collected Kagan" - SOLD!
Next is Diane Duane and her greatly under-appreciated Star Trek novels. "Spock's World" by itself is a supremely great novel that is, unfortunately, non-canonical! Fleshing out the Vulcans amidst a political crisis against the Federation is a GREAT READ! (I think that fellow forum rat CTHIA thinks the same!
)Also got her other ST novels of "Wounded Sky" & "Doctor's Orders", not as great but still excellent. Glad to see she is still writing, her YA "Young Wizards" series is excellent for that age range. I enjoyed the 1st four of that series, even as an adult.
Still have some money left but there are printed books that are not yet on digital. I loved the 1st five of Raymond E Feist's "Riftwar" saga, but they are still unavailable except as inferior graphic-novel adaptations. The why is a mystery but such is life!
So any suggestions for my hot money still unspent?
