You're off to a great start with the closed mind. Congrats!

At least I'm willing to read it, if there's some entertainment value to be had. I used to have an open mind until i went to catholic school from preschool to high school and read too much of the bible.

Entertainment value.....you failed history class I'm guessing? Hard to have so much angst for a "God" you don't believe in.

He doesn't speak for all atheists. As one myself, I have great respect for the artistic achievements of the great religions, including literature. Most religious tales have very powerful humanistic elements.

ahh nice to see, an actual Atheist....so many confused people who claim to be Atheists when they talk more about God than any religious person I know, all negative of course. Granted The Human condition, finding your Identity can be hell(no pun), so I can relate to a degree, we all have to let go eventually though.

Doesn't work with Freda on Windows phone 8 as a epub file.

Another great reason to avoid WP8. Nothing works on it!

Pointlessly argiung over who's right would be, well, pointless... l only give my view like i would with snything else. Not to change the minds of believers that's impossible, but to fully inform potential new buyers.

If scientilogy started getting slickdeal threads for cheap inspirational scientology books do you think no negatives should be allowed in that thread? (If it were civil, acceptable posts i mean, not nasty slugfest)

Anyway best to drop it... not trying to start anything, please lets not make this into anything. I actually was out if line posting snidely like that, since i should have known better...

No worries and I agree actually, but it came across to me at least as a pre-emotive strike to a argument that wasn't taking place by Implying that Religions only value is that of a comedic nature. Sounds like we had similar upbringings, always has the opposite effect as the parents are looking for

There are some converter software downloads available for free. You can try calibre that coverts epub to any output format.

I tried Calibre and it wouldn't take off the DRM of "Life of Pi".

Weird, is Calibre up to date

You need some plugins to remove the DRM. Google LifeHacker and Calibre and you should find an article detailing the process.

I just purchased The Hobbit, used the aforementioned process and was able to get it on my Kindle =D

Only Pi survives, cast adrift in a lifeboat with the unlikeliest oftravelling companions: a zebra, an orang-utan, a hyena, and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.

That must be one big lifeboat. Smilie

I'll pick up a couple since I have a Nook. Any recommendations?

Makes sense if you read it through to the ending. Or, you could watch the movie first and decide for yourself. Can't say more without spoilers. Smilie

perfect timing yesterday I bought the Blu-ray movie of life of pi at best buy. it was the one that was exclusive it had a $10.00 digital download money for the purchase of life of pi. I went to the web sight to register the code once you register the code they give you a visa card# and a card# and a security#. it says you can use this card at any place on line only that sells ebooks. I have a nook hd+ so I put the visa on my account made it my default card. so thanks to slickdeals I got 4 books at $2.11 each. with the balance of $1.56 left on my card so I can buy one app for my nook. thanks slickdeals.
