Hooray!

I have just been curled up with Under Heaven, the latest book from my much-loved Favouritest Author Ever (that would be Guy Gavriel Kay), and I'm happy as a clam. I don't know what it is about his writing, but I can only ever stand to read a few chapters at a time because it's so... intense, I suppose. His style isn't overwrought or purple, but he's a master of eliciting emotions, and his books are never easy reads, emotionally speaking.

Mm. So good.

Okay, I saw this and went "YAY!" and then checked out Amazon and it's not available for Kindle. Maybe the US publisher didn't give Amazon the rights or something. :(

Of course, it's Kay, so if I have to buy a dead tree edition, I will.

Maybe Amazon.ca? The ebook I've got was. ahem. not from an official source -- I'm just using it to tide me over until the bookshop gets my order in, as I always buy the dead tree editions of Kay's books -- but the ebook was very professional, and seemed legit. So someone's selling it, I'm pretty sure.

Or how about this? :)

Yup, "not available for customers in the US."

Dead tree it is! :)

[eleanorjane]

Yeah, not available for Australian customers either. Oh well -- I'd have bought the dead tree edition either way.
