To answer the OP, yes pretty much everybody who's played more thena year or so knows about eve survival, it's not new, it is a good guide though a little dated now (unless they have updated it recently), ISK the Guide is a better guide altough less specific.

As to the punctuation "issue", the guys above may be a little blunt about it but they do have a valid point, at least try to structure your sentances, believe me you will get flamed alot less if you do.

The EVE crowd are a grumpy bunch and have miniscual attention spans so if you don't bereak down your text they get bored and enter auto-flame mode.

The best way to insult anyone her eis to hide it in a wall of unpunctuated text, the troll's will never be able to get far wnough through the etxt to realise they've been insulted Lol

I always wanted to try one out but was a bit put off at paying that amount of money for what was effectively just a simple e-book reader, they really should make them cheaper.

I normally do not criticize other peoples spelling or grammer because I am not without fault there myself. But using no punctiation AT ALL makes a text very difficult to understand.

I will give an example where a comma is really important:

Quote:

I am not sure if this story is true or not, but it illustrates the
power of commas. Czarina Maria Fyodorovna once saved
the life of a man by transposing a single comma in a war-
rant signed by her husband, Alexander III, which exiled a
criminal to imprisonment and death in Siberia. On the bot-
tom of the warrant the czar had written:

“Pardon impossible, to be sent to Siberia.”

Maria Fyodorovna changed the punctuation so that her
husband’s instructions read:

“Pardon, impossible to be sent to Siberia.” The criminal
was set free.

I'd rather try and salvage it. Besides, I overslept. Oops

mavrick1: I would definitely recommend the ISK Guide (available both as a free PDF download and an actual book at the EVE Store). It is frequently updated and while its size may be a little daunting (over 400 pages IIRC), it is the most comprehensive guide to the game that I know of.

There are indeed two EVE novels (The Empyrean Age and The Burning Life). Both are quite a good read. Smile

My wife just bought herself one (the old model with a keyboard) and she loves it. I haven't had any experience with other e-book readers so can't really say where the differences lie (well, apart from the integration with the Kindle Store).

But let's not derail this thread further. Smile

I have a Ipad 2 and I want a Kindle. The non backlit screen makes reading alot easier then trying to read books on an Ipad.

The size is just right for taking it everywhere and the selection that you can get on it cannot be beat. I have a buddy who I play eve with who lives by it, and swears by how amazing it is.

I love my Kindle, can only recommend it. Reading in the sun is totally possible and there's no wear off. Only problem in Europe is that ebook prices are artificially inflated by law. (Yeh yeh protect the poor book vendors)

It is rumored by the way that in the long term Amazon will give away free reading devices in some form of subscription model. But that is not for certain.

The new model without the keyboard looks really nice, it's even faster and lighter than my old one.
