Umm it's 1 am EST. Those who ordered with the evil Apple or B&N have theres. Why is Amazon so crappy and not giving us what we paid for? (and stayed up all night for?)

Has anyone found a link that will sell to Europeans yet? Amazon and B&N won't sell the prologue to me, and iTunes won't sell me any books at all. And I really, really, really want the prologue!

I'm still waiting as well. Gonna punch my lamp to relieve some stress,lol.

I just finished reading it (got it from B&N) and it was GREAT to get some new WoT to read.

I had thought it was supposed to be 88 pages long, but it only registered as 46 in the B&N reader app, and the 1st 7 were the copyright info, title page, map, and table of contents.

I tried to read it slowly, and 'savor' every word of it.  I am going to wait til tomorrow to re-read it and then post more detailed thought on the actual content.  My condolences to those still waiting for it, but I can now sleep peacefully.  I have received my 'fix' for "WoT-aholism" or at least enough to hold me over for 5 weeks or so.  The last several days will, of course, be difficult to wait.

I am about 1/3 of the way through Knife of Dreams, trying to get finished with my complete WoT re-read before November 2.  I may have to ration my reading, so that I don't finish too soon, and then really be left anxious the end of October into the first of November.

Aaaahhhhh, good night all.

ah jb3 it was nice wasn't it. Sorry to all those who don't have it yet, but I blogged my thoughts on it in the members blog area of the forums if you want to take a look. It was short and sweet (speaking relatively in a WoT world lol) and I loved every second of it. I suggest getting it from B&N and using their program NOOK to read it. It did only register as 46 pages on the Nook, but there were 2 pages per "slide" idk what to call e-book pages.

I will sleep well tonight :)

Warlock- you can download both the B&N and Amazon ebook readers for free

Any idea where I can buy it if I'm from Europe? Are there any USA online stores that don't care where I live?

For those not in the US try kobobooks.com . I'm not sure if they work everywhere, but it is a little cheaper there as well.

I purchsed about 15 books the last time Brandon was in Boston for a signing and mailed them out to my friends in Europe/Africa.

It can be done, if a person wants a book, there are so many people that would do what I did for them.  You pay for the book and shipping via paypal, your friend orders the book for you, gets it, mails it to you.
DONE.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the BYU bookstore would mail the books pretty much anywhere if it they were paid.

They do have a website.

Hey there, I'm in Australia and cannot find a way to get the prologue. Any ideas? I have tried all of the legitimate retailers online and even torrent sites and the like but cannot get it. Please help!!! It is driving me insane!

Robert Jordan used to make his prologues for this series available for free.  I'm not paying money to read it when the book is coming in a month.  And what does paying money for the prologue but reading a chapter free make???  I'm dy--ing to read this but really, I think I've waited long enough for a conclusion, I'll wait a few more weeks.

Seriously, why the hell has this only been made possible to buy in the US? I live in the Uk and can't get the latest WOT material-JUST BECAUSE I LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE!?!?!I've been a fan of the books for years! Damn, but it's annoying. Rant over, Brandon i hope you read this.

*shakes fist*

Is this a joke? I've been buying the prologues since they started being released on different e-book formats, and now since I live in Europe, I suddenly cant get it at all? ...
  • Quote
Have not read the prologue yet and I think I will wait until the book comes out. What I would really like to see is a book review by dragonmount! For those of you who do read the prologue, I hope you enjoy it!
