What Star Trek novels are ONLY available as e-books?
- Thread starter Kernos
- Start date
Only the books after book 60 for S.C.E. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfleet_Corps_of_Engineers ) since the others have been collected into paperbacks, and the 6 part Star Trek TNG 'Slings and Arrows' ( http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Slings_and_Arrows ) series are the 'exclusive' ebooks.
However, the SCE ones may still continue to become paperback.

Some of the older Trek titles may be out of print/out of stock indefinitely as paperbacks, but available as downloads (though those generally are not too difficult to find used).
Then there is DS9: Cathedral, a newer book that's gone out of print, which is selling for up to $85 on Amazon Marketplace, but only $5.59 as a Kindle edition.

Not a novel, but another Pocket Books eBook-only publication is "The Magic of Tribbles: The Making of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, Trials and Tribble-ations" by Terry Erdmann.
It's excellent, and was my first eBook purchase.

I've had my cursor poised over the "Buy Me" button a few times for this. It's good, then??
My first eBook purchase was "Distant Early Warning"
SCE and Vanguard, what a combination!!

I enjoyed it, and wish we could've had a hardcopy version, perhaps even an expanded edition with more photos.
Sure! Loved it!
By memory, some of the pics were a bit distorted, but that could have been an incompatibility with my first iMac. (My old PowerMac couldn't download eBooks and my PC at work had a firewall.)
No idea, but it's the words I wanted to read. Most of the pics are frame grabs from the episode, IIRC.
Presumably, it'll show up in the Corps of Engineers: What's Past collection, whenever that finally materializes. Not that I'm anxious for it or anything.
I had no idea that existed. Thanks for the info.
Some of it would depend on your eReader. For instance, the Sony has 8 levels of grayscale; the Kindle and the nook both have 16.

The Sony Reader PRS-900 does have 16 shades.
As for eBook readers and Star Trek, it's a good way to easily get Star Trek books that are now out of print. All of the eBooks that S&S sell are ePub and the Kindle won't handle that. So if you have some you bought from S&S in the past and want to redownload them, forget the Kindle as a choice as they won't work. However, on a Sony Reader, they'll work very well.
sigh...

(Good grief!)
