      This is great news! Ebook availability is a much-discussed topic on the Candlekeep.com forum, which attracts a lot of international readers. They'll be glad to hear this.

      A happy holiday season indeed! At last I can catch up on my Realms reading (...or rereading *tips hat to Elaine*). This news has meant that I am able to accomplish a Realms first for myself, reading 5 Realms novels back to back!
      One question though, I notice that although its constituent titles are available for my kindle, the collected volumes of "Ed Greenwood Presents Waaterdeep" books 1 and 2 don't seem to be. Is this likely to become available in time? Or is this unavailable for a...

      Is there any news? It seems it is still impossible for us international readers to buy digital versions of the novels. :-(

      I don't like e-books even though I have a couple on my Ipad. I prefer a soft book that I can bend in my hands for some reason, but I love the drow so I will have to deal with the hard Ipad and read this!

      Downloading it today, and can't wait to read it. I agree with LupaCupcake, though. I much prefer printed books over ebooks, although I have read quite a few ebooks on my iPad. I think ebooks are really neat and convenient. The screen is also much easier to read than a printed page for someone with low vision like me. That being said, I still prefer printed books, especially hardcovers. The experience of reading a printed book is not the same. I even love the smell of a book. (I know that sounds...

      I'm excited about the Book Wyrms column and can't wait to read future articles. I think the fiction/book publishing end has gotten the short end of the 10 foot pole in terms of website real estate thus far, so this is a move in the right direction.
      A lot of people think that eventually books will go in two directions: ebooks and higher-end collectible books. I'm intrigued by the Print on Demand option, but don't think I would do it unless it was some type of nice printing. I'd be curious to...

      Hi there - I enjoyed reading the column and it's great to hear that you're looking for a solution to the current problem with international ebook purchase. I still love a high-quality printed book, but by and large I'm trying to go for ebooks for general novels, mainly due to lack of space! I thought the hardback collectors' editions of The Legend of Drizzt were wonderful (good print quality, good paper), and I love what Barnes and Noble have done with their 'leatherbound classics' series. I'll...

    My daughter is a huge fan of your books. She insists on bringing A Practical Guide to Monsters to our family D&D game, and she's decided that her character has a copy of the book in our game world. Keep those gems coming!

    Thanks for the friend request. :D I have four kids and we've been adding Mirrorstone books to our collection for the past several years.
