vorkosiganSo, there was some interest in the group of doing a "getting to know you" in the form of a Vorkosiverse reread.
If people are still interested in this, it might be nice to take it in single chunks (novels/novellas/short stories each being one chunk - not omnibus collections being one chunk) and in either publication or timeline order. In that case, the first book we'd read would either be Falling Free or Shards of Honor.
Which do people prefer as the first book?
When would people prefer to start? I was considering late May, perhaps; that's a long time from now, but it also gives plenty of time for new community members to show up and introduce themselves once the site enters open beta, plus it gives plenty of time for people's school years (if they have them) to be wrapping up. (Or does that just conflict with finals week?)
What are your thoughts? Certainly if the people who'd be re-reading can't do a certain time or don't want to do a certain book, we won't do it that way!

But if you wanted, for example, a PDF that was sized for the Sony Reader (~A6 size, but not exactly), you could start with the RTF and convert it. Or you could convert the RTF to eReader pdb, or make it a TealDoc, or whatever.
(Asking questions that have been asked before is fine; so far, I never get tired of talking about ebooks.)
