Books Star Wars: Inferno Squad

I'm all about the Kindle now.

Well, the kindle and the occasional audiobook. I'm listening to the Secret Diary of Laura Palmer now.

 

I usually just bite the bullet and get it on Kindle and a hard copy. Because I'm a straight sucker.

 

I'll see if the local Waterstones has it when it comes out. (They usually knock a couple of pounds off SW hardcovers when they first put them out). If not then I will go the Amazon UK route. I prefer a real book rather than an e-book.

 

I have a kindle paperwhite. I forget which version.
I also have a new Kobo Aura One. It is waterproof and have a bigger screen. Reads epub and mobis!

edit: For two years I have used amazon.com to subscribe to Asimovs. I stopped last year. Now I'm thinking of subscribing to a magazine again.

 

I'll be up in town later in the week - I might ask in the local store if I remember.

 

I'm torn. Generally speaking I dislike e-books (although I do have a Kindle app on my phone) but I've just discovered that the hard copy won't be available in Australia until August 15.

*sigh*

There are times when I really want to move back to the USA...

 

I used to be a book only person but I got a kindle in 2012 I think because I was running out of storage room (mainly due to me owning most of the Legends books in paperback and all the Discworld books). Now I mostly buy Kindle books or second Hand books for cheap from my local second Hand bookshop and put them back in again when I'm done with them, with a few exceptions (like the YA Star Wars books) which I can only buy new in paperback.

One thing that I do like about the Kindle is that you can get books for cheaper too. On the Amazon Kindle Store New Star Wars books are 9.99 for a few months and then they drop to 4.99 when the paperback version comes out. With Inferno Squad though the book is already 4.99 so I have it on preorder.

 

(speculation based on game info / latest book excerpt)

Spoiler

I'm assuming Seyn Marana doesn't make it to the end of the book, considering Inferno Squad in the game is Iden, Gideon Hask, and Del Meeko.

 

Spoiler

Keep scanning for Six Two. I don't want this to be a three man squad.

 

Nice. Resubscribe to Asimov's!

So little hype for this book on this board, it seems. I'm excited to get my copy this week! Hope discussion picks up.

 

I finished my review copy last week, having powered through it in two days. I couldn't put it down, so I hope plenty of people get it! My review will go live on Tuesday.

 

Thrilled to see that the people who've already had the chance to read it have had such a positive reaction!

I'm gonna bite the bullet and purchase the e-book. Then I'll get the hard copy three weeks later. It won't be the first time the Star Wars franchise has caused me to double-dip, and I'm confident it won't be the last either.

 

I am really hyped for the audiobook, and I am very happy that people are having positive reactions so far!

 

I have to say, I'm relieved by the positive reactions I'm seeing here and elsewhere.

 

I am also relieved by the positive reactions as I was a bit worried about this one. I would love to know how readers who really liked this book felt about Dark Disciple.

 

I thought Dark Disciple was fine - possibly due to CW nostalgia - but it dragged a bit and I felt little by way of tension. Inferno Squad moves very quickly and has plenty of tense moments!

 

I'll probably listen to the audiobook which I found is a good way to get myself immersed into the universe.

 

I love how immersive the audiobooks are! This one goes to another level because Janina Gavankar, who plays Iden in Battlefront 2, does the reading. Given her enthusiasm for the role, she'll probably do a great job.
