Excellent.Thanks.No DRM and a life times supply of the scifi books.
Given that they're charging $10 for old ebook on Amazon this is a pretty good deal.
Thanks for posting this - it sounds like a great project. I've signed up as a backer.

Yeah, I had forgotten that delayed (and only if it gets full funding) aspect of kickstarter. But I have pledged now regardless! :)
Tamahome, no, physical and e-books.
$25 seems like a damn good price to get a great almost-forgotten Science Fiction story every month for the life of the group. I was sold about 5 minutes after reading about this. Granted I'm a little late hearing about it, but I'm just glad I caught it in time to contribute.
This is such a great idea. If you're hesitant to pay, just look at it as an investment.

A new Kickstarter project is in the works to preserve classic sci-fi. As you probably know, a LOT of old sci-fi novels are out of print.
Singularity & Co. (love the name) is a project to acquire and republish those books, one every month.

It's a great idea, and for a $25 contribution, you get access to every book they publish for life.
I love classic sci-fi, so needless to say, I'm contributing. What's awesome is an anonymous benefactor is matching all funds contributed, so your money is going to go a long way.
