Tolkien e-books finally legal - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I saw! (via Twitter, of all places, which just proves to you that modern social life has drastically changed - or else that I just have none)

Anyone on here buying? All my hand-held technology is not up to par, unfortunately. Would be nice to be able to whip out a particularly fancy mobile device while bored in an airport, and read a chapter or two, but I need to be richer for that.

You still can't beat curling up with the murdered trees, though. Technology can be such an irritant, and I fee like with Tolkien, especially with re-reading Tolkien, you want it to be more of a soothing, jazzy experience. Particularly the longer works.
