Got an eReader of some sort? Bet you do. Most Star Wars fans aren't afraid of new technology.
Heck, I bet that the first thing that your typical Star Wars fan would say upon hearing of a UFO landing would be "Great! When do we meet 'em?" followed by "I hope those tentacled freaks brought enough blasters to share with everyone."
Me? I've got three: a Kindle 3, a NookColor and a Sony Reader - four if you count my wife's iPad. I can trace my enthusiasm for electronics directly to Star Wars. Ever since I saw my first computer in A New Hope I wanted one of my own. I don't know if this is typical of Star Wars fans of - ahem...a certain age - but when I was a little boy I used to make what looked like little pocket computers out of construction paper and cardboard. Yeah, I was the kid who wandered the playground making "bleep bleep bloop" noises with my paper "computers" and a fistful of Star Wars figures. Is it any wonder that I'm working at Suvudu.com?
My painfully awkward geek childhood aside, if you're a Star Wars fan who owns your own "Datapad" you'll be pleased to know that you'll soon be able to purchase most of the Del Rey and Spectra Star Wars library for your device by June 28, according to parent company Random House and our friends at LucasFilm. You can read more about it here. I can't wait, personally. Even though I love paper books, I read a ton of stuff on my eReaders. I just find it convenient to carry all of the books I'm reading at one time wherever I go without all of the resulting back strain and weird looks I'd get were I to try and haul the "dead tree" copies around.
I've got my eyes on a digital copy of Alan Dean Foster's A Splinter of the Mind's Eye, but there are also some of the newer series of books that I'd like to catch up on. What about you? What will you be buying when that Galaxy Far, Far Away comes to your favorite electronic reading device?
