Praise for The Winds of Dune:
“Delivers solid action and will certainly satisfy.”
–Booklist
“This satisfying tale from Herbert’s son and Anderson follows Jessica, the mother of galactic emperor Paul Atreides. . . . Fans of the original Dune series will love seeing familiar characters, and the narrative voice smoothly evokes the elder Herbert’s style.”
–Publishers Weekly
Praise for the bestselling novel, Paul of Dune:
“This vital link between the first two books of the Dune saga begins immediately after the close of Dune. . . . This is good reading. . . . Standing well enough on its own for Dune novices, it goes without saying that it’s must reading for established fans.”
–Booklist
“Drawing on Frank Herbert’s massive body of notes, the coauthors of the new Dune series continue their expansion and illumination of the unexplored pieces of one of the genre’s most significant and powerful stories. A priority purchase for libraries of all sizes. Highly recommended.”
–Library Journal (starred review)
If I buy a hard copy of Dune, I can do anything I want with that copy. I can read it, I can keep it in my house or my car, I can give it as a gift, I can lend it over and over again to friends, I can sell it on ebay or at a used bookstore, I can recycle it, etc.. If I buy a digital copy of Dune for my nook, I MIGHT get to lend it to another person with a nook – ONCE. Other than that, it is on my nook and my only option is to delete. I cannot sell it, give it away, or lend it more. Saying you don’t always get every version of something you buy is NOT the same as buying a version you can only download X amount of times, rather than download a copy that you now own and can do what you want with.
