The series about the city watch is absolute gold, and I think reading it has unstuck my writer's block for the first time in a while! Good times.
The Humble Bundle is selling a bundle of nearly all of the discworld novels in ebook format for the next few days. It includes every mainline Discworld novel (I consider the YA novels to be mainline, and yes, it includes all of those two) except for Raising Steam. It also doesn't include The Last Hero, which I don't think is mainline, but Wikipedia disagrees. It doesn't include any non-mainline books, so no Science of Discworld, no Folklore of Discworld, no short stories, and so on. But still, 39 books isn't bad.
Unfortunately, there are a few snags: The offer is only available in the US, and unlike most of Humble's ebook bundles, this one is not DRM-free: Instead, the books are being sold through Kobo. If you have an actual, physical e-reader made by someone other than Kobo, the good news is that you can download Kobo e-books with Adobe Digital Editions DRM, which is supported by every major e-reader brand.
Still, I thought some of you all who don't already own the entire series and have it memorized might be interested.
...But that's nowhere near as nice of an experience as a genuine e-reader, because none of those are going to ever feel like paper the same way an e-reader will.
