Woah, they're releasing the NOVEL? Awesome. Where do I pre-order?
Awesome cover for the novel too. Very creepy. |

So no print release? Kinda sucks that I don't own a kindle or something I mean I guess it would work on my ipod or smart phone but I really do want a print copy. |

Another? YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
The novel is Digital-only?  But I'm just ecstatic that we're getting it, period. And there's always the chance that they will publish it physically if it sells well enough.
I hope they license the two upcoming Another novels as well!
Ahhhhhh, so excited. |

| I guess I might need to finally break down and get a e-reader/tablet. Is the kindle fire decent? |

Yeah the Kindle Fire is a good device, I have one and love it. It attaches right to your Amazon.com account and you access your books, music etc if you don't want them installed on the device too.
I'm glad this is getting released

I don't know about the file type Kindles use, but you can read Nook books on a regular computer without buying a nook. |

| I really like how the BTOOOM cover looks like an Xbox game gase. Nice touch. I might have to check that out. |

I will just need to do some research then, I might read manga on the p.c. but normal novels are whole different ball game. |

| I would have looked into importing this, sorry Yen - but i'm not interested in digital releases. Oh well, here's to hoping a print release in the future. |

You can download an application to read Kindle titles on Mac and PC. |

| The most exciting part of this news is that it confirms Yen is still in the novel business. Haruhi, Book Girl and Kieli are all scheduled to finish their runs next year and since Yen hasn't announced any new novel acquisitions in a while I was worried they might be getting out of the market. This raises the odds of Toradora and Sword Art Online getting legit releases. |

I only recently heard of Btooom!, but I'm interested in checking it out. I'll definitely get Another. But how many pages are in each volume? Reading the Azumanga omnibus is annoying enough, and those volumes were fairly short.
As for the Another novel...Well, I don't have an e-reader, so...I really want to read it, though. |
