Hey guys/gals,
Just thought I'd throw this out for anyone who's interested. I found an awesome book by an indie-author that I really enjoy.
It's not related to Ender at all, but I can't help but think the story was inspired by the book we love so much.
He just dropped the price on it to $.99 for Kindle/Nook. Hah, I purchased the hardback for $14 back in December. =]
Hit up the link for more details:
KINDLE/NOOK BOOK: Psion Beta (price drop to $.99) - Slickdeals.net
And let me know if you have any questions, I'm on my second read =]
Hmm I love ender i may have to try that

You really should. The reviews on Amazon are impeccable. I think the only non-5 stars came from when the book was entered in an Amazon contest, and they only got to read part of the first chapter.
It really is a book that is hard to put down.
Ill get it then thanks

Just saw this on SD and bought it. Can't wait to read it.
Just bought it because of this thread. I love SciFi and even if I don't like it was only a dollar.

It's a great read, and it definitely has some re-readability mojo.
Enjoying it so far.

It's great isn't it?
Kind of frustrating that books like that have to be self-published, it's a really great story.
If you hop on over to the slickdeals.net thread I posted, the author actually came and found us. He mentions a couple things about releasing the next book.
I might buy a real copy just to support him haha.
Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
Excellent book!
Wish he'd hurry up with the sequal on kindle
It's like with Paul D. Harrington's Lightspeed series, although the second one came out in 2009 Amazon are only showing it as a second hand paperback for $32!

The seller does not cover the shipping charges, and you have to pay $599.99 for the shipping + the final bid.

It surely had to be inexpensive? Drawing such a picture on the front would have increased production costs and potentially made such a case impractical.

I've been wrapping mine up in a t-shirt and throwing it in my backpack. That is until some decent cases are out.

I would call you all cheap 4sses but not everyone is as well off as I am. Great job with being creative! I do agree that the cases available right now are all little sub par. I bought a Moko case for 6 dollars and they offered to replace it for free. A little thick but good for free.

its a perfect fit.. not tight at all..
the right speaker is partly covered.. the left speaker is just fine.. maybe thats the reason why they were sold cheap.. the manufacturer might have considered it defective.. no big deal.. none of the ports are blocked.. and the overall build quality is good...
Just what I needed to know this tablet is my baby after all

Thanks for the video. Friday's almost here!
I didn't realize they put the power button on the top left. That's a weird spot to put it...I do like that they put the proximity sensors on the left side of the front. That is a major design flaw on my s3 at the moment (every time I'm on a phone call and I try to swipe down notifications, screen will turn off since it registers my thumb.)

Haven't even tried them yet. I have set of Skullcandy 50/50's that I used today, but I'll probably take the included headset to the gym tonight to give them a shot. I'll let you know.

This was the same problem with the EVO 4G LTE. I'd always end up tripping the proximity sensor when I swiped down the notification bar during calls and what not. I like the new position, and it adds a little more industrial aspect to the overall look of the handset.

Yeah, just fixed that. That was my fault. I meant if you want to know more about the phone, I'll be happy to answer questions. I've been typing a lot today. I think it's time to take a break from the computer.
Well done
Because of the curved back, I'm guessing it's a bajillion times more comfortable to hold in your hand, no ?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
explicit, how is that battery holding up?
Also, it might be a network issue, but my LTE would have trouble with incoming texts that are more than 160 chars. So I would receive the 2nd text first, then the initial text would come in second. (When one long text gets broken down into 2). I was wondering if the One did this too.
