My experiences as an Amazon customer are mostly great. I love the Kindle and prefer e-books, except for graphic content or special formatting considerations. Living in Brazil, there is also the great advantage of instant and almost free delivery for published books (and my previous experience with pre-order were great). They also have good logistics for physical books, US$5 per book and two week delivery is better them a lot other options (many bookstores will not ship to Brazil).
I just found that a bookstore in Brazil is selling ?4 in ebook format for a reasonable price (R$15,88 - that is about US$4 but exchange rates are changing fast). The only problem is that it is not Kindle compatible.

...Aren't there Little, Brown edition eBooks? Though admittedly I don't see one listed. What I do see listed, under the Kindle tab, is a separate Egmont ?4 ebook that is out, so perhaps you should cancel your original order and get this instead? www.amazon.com/dp/B015RK5S86Why there are two of them I can't imagine, but the first one might be some kind of weird mislisting that's never coming out, and that's why they keep delaying it. I've seen it happen.

Chapter Six Not to much to say, however I certainly didn't expect pocket etc. to turn up. Also... is theadora really the murderer? I'm startign to believe she could be

I'm startign to believe she could be I didn't see that coming, either; just one of many surprising developments that made the book such a rollercoaster. Which is kind of an appropriate metaphor, given the setting.

Chapters Seven - Nine Yeah i'm rushing through this now. Too good Well, I don't have many individual comments here other than - I gueesed when ellington would turn up! - Ellingtons 'death' shocked me. I kind of don't like that she isn't dead, that would have been more fun. - Hangfire is awesome in a brutal, horribly uncomfortable sort of way. He reminds me of you, Dante. (That's a joke for B.)

I'm following your reactions with interest, Mister M. It fascinates me to know what fascinates other people.

I'm too busy! I have a life! But anyway, Finished, whole book spoilers below Well... okay, I was wrong about the beatrice thing. bah.
But mostly that went down pretty much how I imagined. Some of the finer points of the plot will probably explain themselves to me as I absorb all the information, but... the important thing : what do i think?
It was, overall pretty great. I feel satisfied with the series as a whole. Not blown away or underwhelmed, but satisfied. I will re-read the whole series at some point, and I think I will appreciate it more then. But mostly... it was the best for which I could hope

I'm done. Less than six hours of read. I... I don't even know.
EDIT: Three hours later I still don't know. I read all the spoilers already and have a lot to say, but first I have to think about a lot of stuff!

Oh yes, that reminds me. Digital versions of ten of the book's chapter-header illustrations can be found here. Egmont are a bit careless about spoilers, though at least they didn't put down all the chapter header illustrations, as they did for ?2 and ?3...
