Recovery (Star Wars- The New Jedi Order) Description:
Recovery (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order) review: 1 stars (C is for cookie... [...]) - Yeah... I wish I had read these reviews first before purchasing. So I have to wait until tomorrow to read my ebook huh? Honestly, I didn't even know this was just an in-between story before Conquest and after Balance Point. I wouldn't have even bothered with it if I had known that. Well, thankfully I just bought the Conquest duology while hunting for a print copy of Recovery, so I can read something tonight at least... [...] 4 stars (A short story that's worth the time and money) - This is my first experience with Microsoft Reader. I thought it was great! I made the font larger, pulled a nice recliner over in front of the monitor, and had no trouble reading the story in one sitting. It's quite easy to work with, and the price was not really that expensive. Granted, you might be able to get much more story in most ebooks for the same money, but this was the only media that the story was available in. It was also a very fast way to acquire the story. The story takes some interesting turns and nicely brings some other plot lines back together. I liked the new Jedi characters that were introduced, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with them in future installments of the overall story. A worthy effort on the part of Troy Denning, and most people who are still reading the Yuuzhan Vong stories by this point are likely to appreciate this part. And, if you've never tried an ebook, take a chance. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised. 1 stars (This whole EBook thing is really bad. Not Recommended.) - First, when you purchase this Electronic book, your order is not processed until the next day so do not expect to download it until the next day. Second, you have to download this Acrobat Reader thing and if you already have the full Adobe Acrobat, you still have to download and install the reader program or you cannot download the book from the website. Third, you cannot print the book or even copy it into a word processor to print it. What good is it then? How am I supposed to read it? I certainly cannot read it here on my laptop screen! The book is 97 pages (Minus the copyright-coverpages etc.) in 8 chapters. Not long enough for the 3 bucks I had to pay for it in my opinion. About the book itself? I don't know. Until I can figure out how to print the frickin thing, I won't be able to read it to review it. But in all honesty, even if it turned out to be the best book in the entire world, I will still never buy another EBook again. This whole EBook thing is pretty stupid. Why in the world can I not print the thing? How do they expect me to read it if I can't print it? Do they expect me to go out and spend a few hundred bucks on a Palm computer thing just to read a book? I don't think so! Never again. I think I just wasted 3 bucks.
