SciFi Friday, Part 2: Star Trek

Just like with Star Wars, if you want to keep up with Star Trek, you have a lot of reading to do, some old and some quite new. Rather than try to list the book description of each, for this post I'll just show the covers, grouped together by price.

First up, a series of graphic novels that tie into the new Star Trek movie, Star Trek: Countdown (1-4). Each of these is $1.59 and in black and white (yes, even on the iphone). Viewing it on the iphone is pretty cool, though, as you can now resize the page with a single gesture, blowing it up as large as needed to be able to read the text attached to each comic page. Since it is meant to be used on all the Kindles, though, the pages don't autmoatically start out in landscape mode (they should) and taking up the full screen (again, they should). Fair warning for those who don't have much room available: each of these is quite large, around 2.5M to 3.5MB in size


Next, there are a number of StarTrek novels, novellas and short stories on Kindle now. Several of these are bargain priced (under $5). I'll include more another week, as this should keep you busy for now.

$2.79/$2.80



$3.16
