Tal Pandora,
I've known about the E-reads site for a while now, but thanks anyway.
I was disappointed in the response I got from Richard Curtis because it
was
almost identical to one I got nearly three years ago. And the E-Reads
site
isn't really kept up to date, books 1-16 are currently available as ebooks
at the Fictionwise site for the same price shown at E-Reads.

What I'm hoping is that enough people send a letter or email (or both) to
get Mr. Curtis' attention and encourage him to get the all the books back
in
print, but especially to get "Witness" and "Prize" released in paperback.
On printing the ebooks, the copyright concerns is exactly why they've
disabled *direct* printing from the various readers. Annoying I know,
which
is why I hope they'll get the books back in print. My reading set is
falling apart. ~S~ At least the ebooks make finding quotes easier.
Thanks again. I wish you well,
Lemuel of the Builders
