The Cowgirl Coder

I’m transferring most of my fantasy and science fiction to digital versions. There’s a sort of sadness involved with doing so; these books have been my friends for decades, and I love them.

Still, there’s something to be said for NOT spraining my thumb trying to hold the latest Goodkind or Jordan or Silverberg hardcover in the bathtub.

I’m going with a Nook, and I’m building an ebook library of epubs, since it’s an open format with OSS tools at the CL for conversion and maintenance.

After all the preaching I’ve done, I should be the first to acknowledge that content and means of distribution are NOT the same thing…but there’s a hint of sadness as I sell my copies of the Feist/Wurts Empire trilogy. I love the cover picture on Servant of the Empire; it’s AWESOME.

I’ll miss the books…but not while I’m moving, not on the airplane, not when I’m decorating, not in the bathtub…wait. Why didn’t I do this before?

And does anyone know how to get a copy of that cover as a poster?
