katestineI've already whined on Twitter about Baen limiting access to the CDs on the Internets (although it led to a hilarious exchange with my favoritest IP lawyer). However, raising the price of the books - to $9-$10! - and making it so you can't buy monthly bundles for past months?! What the hell?! Thank goodness the NY Public Library has 12 copies on order - and only 1 person ahead of me in the reserve queue - bc there are few Baen authors worth $10 a pop. For $3 more, I could be reading Nate Silver's The Signal and the Noise, which is about numbers. *grumbles*
I also grumbled on Twitter about how painful it is to read Nook books on the iPad. I'm sure there are combinations of settings that will make it a pleasant reading experience, but wow. I never want to buy another Nook book again, even if I did finally find my password again.
