New SciFi book, akin to Ender's Game - Off-topic

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

NP, enjoy it!

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!

It's a scam, and work by placebo. I tried it, and it makes you think it works. The trick where you have your hands in the back, and someone pushes down, at first you don't know how the person will push down, so your body loses balance, but the second time you know what force to expect and your body counteracts it.

I think the overall was 27$ when I bought it. I paid about 18€.
thanks IKBZI. that's pretty expensive...because of the transport costs. i'll try to find/make something locally.

It's kinda weird. It has some kind of glue, which makes the skin able to be removed and added again. I don't know how to call it, but I liked it, since it's really easy to put or to take off. I recommend it if you liked it.
That looks so awesome, I'm jealous.

Did a quick Google search and it looks like there's a place online who makes some, nothing to the extent of the custom vinyl though.
Some to Purchase: http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/exoskin-nexus-10

If anyone else has a site that has better one's please post them, this is a great idea with how easily the back gets scratched due to the material.

You'll be lucky if that lasts a week. Note even at the end of his video the corners of the back piece are already wrinkling back up. The side pieces are a complete waste of time; there is so little contact area they'll peel straight back off the first time you touch them.
The only bit that will stay in place is on the glass, which needs no protection anyway.

I'm assuming you're referring to the Red Leather as it's currently the only red we have, if so it is not much of a brilliant red but more of a dark red-brownish red. The pictures on our site are of the actual material so that color representation is very close!
