When I bought my Acer Iconia Tab, I also received as part of an Acer promotion a $100 voucher, which could be used with the Dymocks online bookstore.
I excitedly went online, eager to purchase the electronic version of "The Game of Thrones" by George Martin, as I had just recently finished season 1 of the excellent HBO TV series and was anxious to read the book upon which it was based.
To my dismay, Dymocks only offered the physical book, no online version. Bummer.
Oh well, perhaps I'll get one of the newer books in the Dexter series (again due to my love of the TV series..does anyone see a trend here?) but ba-bow. Not even a physical version of this one.
Obviously, I have committed myself to using up this voucher so against my better judgement bought "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which I dutifully read on the train with my tablet for the next 2 weeks and promptly wished I had those 2 weeks of my life back.
Hope has now been restored however, with my next purchase "Moab is My Washpot" by Stephen Fry being most enjoyable.
I have to say though, given the struggle I have had to find anything worth reading, I don't think Dymocks will be keeping my business for much longer once the $100 has been spent and given this is there idea of spelling, then definitely not:
- a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent desing' and Darwinsim
- hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of region of all types.
- He eviscreates the major arguments... shows how religon fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children.
