AliceB Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 gotta wait till the 6th for me haha. the curse of living in europe. so will likely just buy the ebook first thing in the morning and read that while waiting for the hard copy Curse? Luck, I would say in this case: I'm getting the american version 6 days before the american guys! I live in Italy, but I don't wait for the translation, or else I should wait a year GULP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceB Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm from Germany and Amazon.de sent me an e-mail saying that my order will be delivered by tomorrow. You can image i'm pretty excited, but it's kinda awkward that europeans recieve a US-book even before it's released there. Well, i guess you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. But atleast you have signings .. i wish i could have my copy signed. Exactly my idea, thank you for expressing it more clearly But you too can have the signed copy, I remember something about ordering it on Brandon's blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neru Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I wish I could have such luck! Being from Brazil, even if the book was shipped last week I would still have to wait until mid-late March to have my copy! Damnation take this countrys customs and importation system!!

Sylveris Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Its so annoying that for me, even if Amazon sent me an email saying that my order had been sent, I'll have to wait a month for it (For some reason all Amazon shippings to Israel come from Germany, no idea why)Guess I'm gonna get the ebook after all... P.S. my first post after five months of lurking 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLight_Luc Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thank god for the e-book release, my copy from amazon reaches me between the 6th and the 10th. I'm going nuts here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meddler Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Despite living in the UK,I had to preorder from amazon.de because I couldn't get a hold of the US Hardcover on the UK website. Received an email today saying that the book has been shipped and should be with me before the end of the month. However, I can only read it once the ebook comes out since I am at university and the book is being delivered to my home address, this is torture :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But atleast you have signings .. i wish i could have my copy signed. After reading this I just went and ordered a copy from Amazon.de in that slim hope that they'll also send it out early. I don't really mind buying a second copy, I want the Tor version which you can't get from Amazon.co.uk. Buying a copy from two different countries, guess I've done my bit to put Brandon in the #1 spot. EDIT: Just got my confirmation email. It said estimated delivery date 27-28 February. If I get it then I will be so unbelievably happy, totally worth the £30 it cost me. Edited February 25, 2014 by Duskshard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterAhlstrom Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 You can increase the text size on your phone. That's one of the best things about ebooks. I like large text. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I love about ebooks as well. However what I don't like about ebooks are how they handle maps & pictures so for WoR I had to go with the hardback.

And Stormlight Archive has pictures on top of that. I can't justify getting the ebook in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a great idea, thanks! Download the kindle app to your cellphone and give a try. Kindle are cheap too(I bougth two as gifts for R$200 a piece few months ago) and man that little bugger are one of the best things that I bought in a few years It's so easy to read big books and to find fantasy books that aren't released in Brasil. You alsocan put pdf and such that you made to study (Muito bom para revisar para concursos ou para a faculdade) The amazon store sell all the book of the US amazon and you can pay in R$ the exact price in dollar. No tax. Just the consersion dollar/real rate of the day in your credit card (ou boleto). And again welcome =) Edited February 25, 2014 by Natans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 So freakin envious of you all! I'm going to develop a tick from all this waiting.

Duskshard Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just got confirmation that the order of WoR I made last night from Amazon.de has been shipped and will arive on Monday 3rd. I am so so happy right now. I live in the UK and thought I'd have to wait until the 6th to get it. Any UK members who want to get it earlier than the Uk release date and don't mind paying for express international shipping might want to consider ordering from Amazon.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
