Прочитал. Первая половина (приблизительно) - отлично, каждое слово - пародия. Вторая половина - немного тягомотно.

В букинистическом магазине сказали, что Пратчета со вторых рук купить практически невозможно: как только он появляется - сразу раскупают. А новые книжки здесь дороговаты. Что делать?

1) Что есть Janglo?
2) Интересная идея! Ты пользовалась?
3) Неохота людей беспокоить из-за ерунды. Я позвонил в Harvard Book Store, им надо точно назвать, что я хочу, и тогда они скажут цену пересылки. Они это делают по весу, что в принципе должно означать более дешевые цены, чем на Амазоне. Завтра им позвоню.
4) А где их можно преобрести for download? Наверняка есть какие-то международные ограничения.

4) Unabridged audio books are 4 times as expensive as mass market paperback.

you get a few books for free during the no-obligation trial period:)) I've never used it, but it's an option:)

also, they might available elsewhere for less or free. try e-mule or bittorrent.

>try e-mule or bittorrent

Peer-to-peer downloading works well only when many people "sync" on the same item. For example, when the last Harry Potter came out it was easy to get a scanned version (and also the first six as well). In this case there's nothing to sync on, so I doubt it'll work.

oh, I didn't mean scanned books, I meant audio books on eMule

I'll try 2), then. There's someone in Katamon. Maybe (s)he'll trade for the Iliad or something :). Actually, coming to think of it, we have a whole assortment of books in English that we'll never read again, but are loathe to throw away or sell.
