Thank you, Boaz. I ended up not buying a book today. Couldn't decide online, and didn't get around to the bookstore. I had my man take me to Indian food instead. Not that we're big on holidays, but we use any excuse to spend money on Indian food.
I am going to see if any of GRRM's recommended authors are on ebooks.com. I know tomorrow I will regret not having gone to Powells today.
