Comment on 'Starfleet Academy' Deserved Better Than This
IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 23 hours agoGood thing there’s still a large backlog of Trek novels I haven’t read yet. Not really a consolation prize or silver lining, but it’s at least something.

I’ve been picking up old ST novels at thrift stores for $1-2. I only have a handful, but the ones I’ve read are pretty good. It’s like reading an extended episode of ST.

Very much that. Mine are all ebooks but I’m starting to build a nice collection. Thankfully I can get most of them DRM-free so they’re actually mine. Best I can tell, the publisher will release them DRM-free approx. 5 years after they’re published.

I prefer physical books myself, but I’m always ok to read an ebook if that’s how I can get a story. Do you have a preferred place to get them? There are a few that I would love to own, but a used copy is significantly too expensive.
I’m looking at you A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson at over 100 bucks

Yeah, A Stitch in Time was what started the search. Just over $100 seems like a bargain when I was seeing the used paperbacks listed over $200 on Amazon lol. So I went with the ebook copy.

I think I paid $10.99 for it last year, and it’s $8.99 now. If you are interested in more, create an account and add them to your wish list. They will randomly go on sale with no notice. I got several that were normally like $12.99 for $1.99 just by catching them on sale when I checked back on my lists.
I’ve been getting all of mine from there. If the title is available without DRM, it’s noted in the listing, and you can straight-up just download a clean epub file once you’ve bought it. That’s everything I’ve always wanted from an ebook store.
