What happened to the Kindle thread?

What happened to the recent ongoing Kindle thread?

 

Not sure, guess it didn't catch FIRE.

 

Did it disappear? I swore I was on it earlier today, but now I don't see it.

 

I'm investigating the situation.

 

...Did we just get our locked room mystery in Trek Lit???

 

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

And Detective Rosalind is on the case!

 

It probably disappeared in a data hiccough, as these gadgets are prone to do. You'd be better off reading a proper book.

 

Hmmm, am I the only one sensing a anti-ebook conspiracy here?







Just kidding.........or am I? (Yes, I am)

 

Maybe someone had a Nook & was feeling left out of the conversation.

That or the other possibility that there was a failure in a data path transfer subroutine & the computer saw that as a potential threat of the thread somehow causing a feed back loop which in turn would initiate the self destruct mechanism, which would be bad.

 

"So, if we transfer the output of the plasma conduits into the phased array system on the deflector we should be able to transmit a hypto-phasic signal and make the thread re-materialize!"


"I get it! Like popping a balloon!"

"Um, no."

 

It just seems odd that the one new thread dealing with eBook readers and eBooks would be lost.

 

So any word on what happened?

 

And if it had been a different thread that had randomly disappeared, someone whose interests were addressed in it might think it was odd that that particular thread was lost. It's called the look-elsewhere effect. Given a large enough sample size, what looks significant may actually be just random chance. There are a lot of threads here, and if a glitch is going to make a thread disappear, it's as likely to be that one as any other.

And of course, a single thread disappearing isn't significant at all by any objective measure. If there were a pattern of threads on a particular subject disappearing, that could arguably be significant. But a single data point does not suggest a pattern.

 

Any luck in finding out what did happen to the kindle thread?

 

Obviously we have to go back in time and stop whoever did this.

 

Does anyone know if ebooks.com is trustworthy and legit? I've been looking of the Dr. Who new series adventures in Epub (for my Nook) for ages, and so far this is the only place I've found them. But before I started buying them, I just wanted to make sure that I was getting them from a good store, that is selling the books legally and without any bugs or anything.

 

I have no idea whether or not they're legit, but there are at least two alternatives available for buying them as ePub: Kobo sells them, as does Books-a-Milllion (which is where I bought them for use on my Nook).

 

I have bought from ebooks.com before and I've had no trouble with them at all.

 

Ah, cool thanks. I just found a link to them in a list of ebook stores on Random House's website, and I doubt a publisher would link to an unauthorized seller.
