Hi, Ms. Bujold - not a question so much as a comment. I empathize with reader Alict, who asked about plans to release the Penric series in print. The only reason I have an e-reader - purchased after much soul-searching, pulling of hair, and gnashing of teeth - is because I couldn't buy the novellas as, well, what I still think of as "real books." That being said--Penric made it worthwhile. Thanks?

I think you will find e-readers a useful addition to print works. I have certainly been enjoying my devices. My Kindle Paperwhite was good, and got me into the game, but I do have to say my Android tablet beats it for readability and range. (Manga is brilliant on it.) The Paperwhite remains more portable, however. Depends one's needs.
(The Subterranean Press limited paper edition of "Penric's Demon" is now selling in the secondhand market for quite insane prices, making your device look even more of a bargain, for a while.)

Listening for the first time the audio version of the Penric novellas, I found a great similarity between Desdemona, and how Penric views her as unique being and repository of knowledge through centuries (and what a waste it would be to lose it) AND the Trill like Dax from Star Trek Universe. Is it a coincidence or not ?

I have a friend who loves the Vorkosigan Saga, and persuaded me to start it, and I've also fallen in love with it. She's got a birthday in September, and I would love to get her a personalized signed copy of a her favorite book in the series. Do you do anything like that? I would be happy to send you the book with postage paid for the return journey. If this is possible, I can be contacted at josh.charles@gmail.com
