While it is fun having the progress shown as 3500 / 13488 with The Complete Wheel of Time ebook, I wanted to enjoy the individual covers as well.
Luckily Calibre with the epub-split plugin made that rather painless, just some metadata adjustments.
Also kudos to TOR publishing for intentionally providing a DRM-free epub, making this possible (without having to remove it beforehand)

Damn Robert Jordans twists hit like nothing else .
Wheel of Time, Book 4 might be my favourite so far

Sosehr ich meine #Bibliothek auch liebe, die haben leider nur die echt grottige Übersetzung von Das Rad der Zeit.
Darum hab ich jetzt den Schritt getan und den Vorteil von ebooks genutzt, der auch so ein gigantisches Werk in eine handliche Größe bringt (zumindest gewichtsmäßig)
Das schwierigste dabei war eine wirklich DRM-freie Version vom TOR zu bekommen:
https://torpublishinggroup.com/the-complete-wheel-of-time/?isbn=9780765376862&format=ebook
Es gibt auch eine von Little Brown Book was wohl einfach der UK Verlag ist. Trotzdem hat mich dieser Amazon prime sticker abgeschreckt bei denen abgeschreckt, da wollte ich doch beim Ursprungsverlag bleiben.
Am Ende hab icb es dann bei Kobo gekauft (weil dort DRM freies epub) und es dann auf mein Pocketbook gezogen, auch wenn Kobo den Download button gut versteckt und mir stattdessen ihre Webview oder App aufquatschen will.
Sollten e-books nicht alles bequemer machen?

Finished book five! On to book six.
So sehr ich auch von der Story gefesselt bin, die deutsche Übersetzung von 'Das Rad der Zeit' vom Piper Verlag lässt wirklich zu wünschen übrig.
Wer zur Hölle übersetzt 'bloody' wie in 'bloody hell' ein zu eins mit 'blutig'?!
Das riecht nach automatischer Übersetzung und sehr oberflächlicher Kontrolle. Von den ganzen Typos gar nicht zu reden.
Ich werd wohl auf das englische Original wechseln

Okay all. I’m looking for my next read. I just finished a re-read of Donna Tartt’s “The Secret History”. Before that, re-read Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy. Did some rereading after disappointments. Lastly, The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd. Awful.
So, putting it to the Fediverse, what should I read next
P.S. Mistborn and Stormlight: not on the table

I invested a fair amount of time to read all 14 novels of the #WheelOfTime, and I am glad I did. I can only hope that the #GameOfThrones novels will be finished as coherently!
Last night I #dreamed that we were awaiting the Last Battle of the #WheelOfTime, with not much to do.
@daniel oooo almost there! You get to look forward to the longest chapter I've ever seen in a book 😂
Over my lunch break, I reached the end of _Knife of Dreams_, the eleventh novel of Robert Jordan's _Wheel of Time_ series (and the last written solo). What a huge amount of work these represent! I don't remember reading so ambitious a world-building exercise. Now I just have the final trilogy of novels combining Jordan's thoughts with Brandon Sanderson's pen.

didn't mean to but have somehow found myself watching scenes from #wheeloftime season 3 again and good lord the sound engineering really is just incredible innit
Last night I #dreamed that I was traveling with Aes Sedai (#WheelOfTime). Their handling of venomous snakes loosed among our luggage was impressive.
Watching #TheWitcher series 4. I'm a little lost trying to work out what I remember from the end of series 3, and what I'm remembering from the end of series 2 of #WheelOfTime.
Almost finished Wheel of Time book 10, definitely a low point in the series for me. But relieved to have got through, albeit with much skimming! Look forward to getting through the rest, though it may take a couple of years to get through the remaining books, interspersed with other reads. #Books #Bookstodon #Fantasy #WheelOfTime #WoT #reading
Any #WheelOfTime #WOT book readers on here? I’ve been reading my way through them for the first time and I’m nearing the end. Is it just me or is Sanderson much better as a writer than Jordan? Wish he had written them all tbqh
the wheel weaves as the wheel ...
